BOY: Raju, if you don’t come, we will not go.
BOY: Come on Raju, let’s all go together.
TEACHER: For serving the people, one must not go back but jump forward, understand?!
Teacher jumps and the boys laugh
TEACHER: I’ll find out why Sathyam says He will not come. Sathyam my boy, You will come, won’t You? …… [turning to the boys in general] Well okay, you must pay ten rupees before Monday. Remember, everyone must come only in scout uniform, right? There goes the bell! Don’t forget my instructions, and come for the Carnival.
CHORUS: Yes Master!
TEACHER: Sathyam, You also must definitely come!
Teacher leaves the classroom, and the boys surround Sathya.
BOY: Raju, why are You saying that You will not come?
SATHYA: Master said that one must come in uniform; that’s what I am thinking about.
BOY: Ask Your people at home.
ANOTHER BOY: Ask Your elder brother. Scouts must be in uniform while doing service.
SATHYA: All right, I’ll think about it. Come, let’s go.
BOYS: Come on, let’s take our books and go!
SCENE 5
Seshama Raju’s house in Kamlapuram. Conversation is in progress between Seshama, his wife Suseela, her mother, and Sathya.
SESHAMA RAJU: Well, why are You so late? The School got over a long time ago. Where have You been roaming? When will You do the homework?
SATHYA: I have carefully heard everything said in the class, and I know all the lessons.
SESHAMA RAJU: You know everything? In that case, tell me what they taught You in the class today.
SATHYA: Scout students are to go the Carnival in Pushpagiri. Master said that we must do social service.
SUSEELA: Then, You also go along.
SATHYA: To go to the Carnival, one has to pay ten rupees and stay there for ten days. For that reason, ……
SESHAMA RAJU: It’s not even ten days since You joined the school, and already You are talking about Scouts, uniform, social service, etc.! You are being sent to school to study and not to spend money unnecessarily. There is no need to go to carnivals in order to do social service.
MOTHER-IN-LAW: If You go away for ten days for doing social service, who do You think is going to do Your work here? There is so much work to be done here!
SUSEELA: Mother!
SESHAMA RAJU: [to Sathya] You had better forget about social service; instead, stay at home and study. Now go!
SATHYA: If Master asks?
SESHAMA RAJU: If Master asks, say that You have no money and therefore cannot go.
