important in our lives. Drug abuse is the repeated use of illegal drugs. Some
people use drugs to forget their problems. Medicines and sensual drugs are
two different things. Sensual drugs (ഇന്ദ്രിയ മരുന്നുകൾ) give the user
just a sense of pleasure. They badly affect the functions of the brain. The
drug addict feels physical discomfort and fails to respond to anything. Drug
abuse also leads to liver disease, venereal diseases and kidney problems. Damage
to the brain is the most dangerous effect.

Bertie also joined. The farmer talks about a time-bomb found in a London post
office. A foreign tourist comes in with a large and neatly packed parcel. He
leaves the post office, but forgets to take his gloves. Bertie hears a funny
sound coming from the parcel. He goes out to call a police constable who
comes and examines the parcel. The postal assistant brings a bucket of
water.The tourist who comes back watches the policeman plunging his parcel in
water. The play ends with a threat of legal action by the tourist.

The background is a single child school where the teacher gives some maths.

of the student. The child is a representative (പ്രതിനിധി) of the new generation.
The slap was a ‘crime’, and the teacher underwent due ‘punishment’.
The teacher got angry and slapped the boy. The boy blackmailed the teacher
saying that he would complain to his parents. The teacher was forced to act
in many roles and became tired.
