Shyam and Pulami: Yes, we agree with Seema . We promise not to drink
alcohol and gamble from today onwards.

All of them: Thank you Seema , you have opened our eyes. We
swear not to drink and gamble in future.

Seema: You all are my seniors. If I have hurt you, please
forgive me.

All: Not at all. But, how do you know all about these
aspects of a better life?

Seema: I have learnt most of them from my parents and
teachers. Smoking, gambling, drinking alcohol, etc.
destroy our health, life and happiness. So, we should
follow such ideals which we can get easily from our
seniors without cost. (She smiled). Namaste and
take care of you all. Bye.
