KARMA IN ACTION!

LONG TIME AGO, THERE WAS THIS FIFTEEN YEARS OLD SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENT WHO NEVER TOOK HIS ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES SERIOUSLY. HE WAS A NUISANCE IN BOTH HIS SCHOOL AND AT HOME. HE TALKS A LOT IN CLASS AND ALSO MOVES FROM ONE SEAT TO THE OTHER. WHENEVER HIS TEACHER WANTS TO FLOG HIM FOR HIS NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES, HE WOULD PRETENDS TO BE SICK AND THE TEACHER WOULD PARDON HIM. HE ALWAYS EVADES PUNISHMENT UNDER THE GUISE OF BEING ILL. BUT OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL, HE WOULD BOASTS TO HIS FRIENDS AND CLASSMATES THAT HE WOULD NEVER ALLOWS ANY TEACHER'S CANE TO TOUCH HIS BODY THROUGHOUT THE YEARS HE WOULD STAY IN THE SCHOOL. AT A TIME, HE BECAME SERIOUSLY ILL. HE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BUT HIS CONDITION GOT WORSENED AND SO HIS PARENTS SEEK AN ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION FROM A HERBALIST. AT THE HERBALIST'S SHRINE, IT WAS REVEALED THAT HE CAN ONLY SURVIVE THE AILMENT ON THE CONDITION THAT HE MUST BE TAKEN TO HIS CLASS AND ALL THE CLASS STUDENTS AND HIS TEACHER SHOULD FLOG HIM TWELVE STROKES OF THE CANE EACH. HIS PARENTS BECAME SERIOUSLY AFRAID THAT GOING BY HIS CONDITION, HE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SURVIVE SUCH A TORTURE. BUT THE HERBALIST DISMISSED THAT INSINUATION ON THE GROUND THAT KARMA WAS AT WORK.  "IF THAT WILL ONLY BE THE SOLUTION FOR HIS SURVIVAL, WE WILL DO THAT", SAID HIS PARENTS AS THEY TOOK HIM DOWN. THERE WERE  THIRTY EIGHT STUDENTS IN HIS CLASS. MIRACULOUSLY, AFTER THE 468 STROKES, HE IMMEDIATELY STOOD ON HIS FEET AND FOLLOWED HIS PARENTS HOME HALE AND HEARTY!  FROM THAT DAY, HE BECAME A RESPONSIBLE BOY!    The end.
