Jonakipur High School

Dear Hridoy,
Thank you for your letter of 1st May. It gives us such an exciting piece of news! I cannot still believe that there could be a shop without a shopkeeper. I told about it to my relatives, friends, classmates and, of course, my teacher, Miss Nishat. Everybody was surprised. Miss Nishat liked the idea so much that she immediately talked about it to our Head teacher. We had already a meeting in our school with teachers and students. At the beginning of the meeting, the Head teacher asked me to talk about the Morality Shop in your school. At first I read out part of your letter and then I explained how such a shop in your school is greatly helping you—students, teachers and the community at large. The Head teacher was quite positive about the usefulness of such a shop. He formed a committee with Miss Nishat and two other teachers and some senior students to draw up a plan for opening a morality shop in our school. Isn’t it great? You will be glad to know that I am on the committee too.
I’m coming to see your Morality Shop with a friend of mine next weekend. See you then. Give my salam to Aunt and Uncle.
All the best.
Riah
