Phatik was the most backward and the dullest boys in his school. He remained silent when the teacher asked him a question, and like an ass patiently suffered all the blows that came down on his back. One day, he lost his lesson book. It was impossible to prepare lesson without it. Day by day he was beaten unmercifully by the teacher. His conditions became so miserable that even his cousins were ashamed of him. He was insulted by his classmates. These all the troubled faced by Phatik when he was at school.
