Both of ‘em studied in the same class. One day Louis says his best friend goodbye as he was shifting to Canada with his family. Jack had tears in his eyes. He cried a lot because Louis was leaving. Jack could never forget Louis. He was very sad after Louis had left him alone. Then Jack dies in a terrorist attack. Louis now says this whole story of their unbreakable friendship to his dear son after his marriage. Then Louis returns from Canada to his home. Louis then says the incomplete story.

Chapter 1:- Louis Begins The Story.

Louis was now 29. He was married and he had a son named Roy. One day Louis was drinking tea on a Sunday morning. His son came to him and he asked him, “Dad, I have heard that you had a very sad story. Would you tell me the story dad?” “Oh” said Louis to his son “I would like you to know the story son.” Then Louis began, “I was 4. I was in Lower Kinder Garden. It was a month and a new boy of 4 was admitted to our class. Our teacher, Miss Mary made him to sit near me.
“What’s your name?” I asked him. “Jack. And what’s yours?” asked he to me. I replied “My names Louis. Would you like to be friends with me?” He then said, “Yes. Why not.”
“Roy, then we gradually became the best of friends. We played and studied together. No one could destroy our friendship.”

Chapter 2:- The Fight.

“One day when I was in 4th grade, exams were going on for a few days.” Roy was digging his nose as if he was bored. Louis said him in anger, “Roy, are you listening?” Then Roy got scared and he pretended that he was listening. Then Louis continued, “It was the days of the results of the exams which were going on. I had got more marks than Jack.”
“I went and teased him that I had got more marks than him. He got very angry and he hit me. Even I hit him but when I hit him the teacher saw me and blamed me and not Jack. After the school was over that day I went straight up to Jack, hit him in his face and I told him that because of him I got scoldings.”
Jack brought his mom to the class the next day and Louis had got more scoldings from his teacher. Louis continued, “I and Jack did not talk for a few days. But Roy, after a few days we shook hands and we were friends again!”

Chapter 3:- The Sports Day in the School.

“We now had our sports day which was held every three years. All prepared for the sports day by practicing Relay Race, Running Race and the frog jump. I and Jack also were prepared for the sports day which was tomorrow.”
“Next morning all had come to see the Sports. We were in 4th grade as you know Roy. Now the turn was of the third grade. Next was our chance. I was very excited and so was Jack! Now it was our chance. I was nervous.”
The first event was Frog Jump. All stood at the starting line. Our ringmaster blew his lucky charm which he wears around his neck by mistake. All started laughing. All of ‘em had a hearty laugh.”
“Now our ringmaster blew the whistle and we started leaping like a frog. First came Jack, second came Ronnie and third came me.”
“The next event was 200m running race. All were ready to take off like a bullet train! Our ringmaster kept the whistle which he was wearing around his neck in his mouth and then eventually he whistled the whistle. We took of. I and Jack reached the finishing line together. We gave each other a high-five. Now it was the time for the Relay race which was the final event for our class. There were groups standing on both the sides. The relay race was won by team C in which I and Jack was also there.”
“We enjoyed a lot!”

Chapter 4:- The Visit of Louis’ House by Jack

“Roy, now it was the best holidays of the year-Summer holidays! Jack was invited by me to our very palace-like house. He had come to my house. My mom, who is your grandma Roy, had prepared lunch for the both o’ us. We had our lunch heartily.”
“Then we went to a nearby library and read some books. Then we returned home. We no played the video game which I had. We played the video games for hours together.” Roy now went to drink water. When he returned Louis continued, “Then it was evening and Jack left. I bid farewell and wished him a good night.”

Chapter 5:- The Stay at Louis’ House.

“I had again invited him to my house, but this time I had visited him for a stay! He agreed and he came to my house. We saw TV, Played and we had really enjoyed.”
“Now it was night and we slept. My mom slept in the first floor. We slept in the ground floor. We had a great sleep. We woke up and had our breakfast. Then we had gone to the playground and I found many friends of mine. We decided to play a 20-20 cricket match. There were teams of 5 in each team. Our team won the toss and we elected to bat. Jack and Drake went in first. Drake was on strike and Jack was on non strike. Drake took a couple of runs.”
“We had batted our first innings and we played the second innings and we won! Then Jack left to his house.”

Chapter 6:- Aunt Polly

“Roy, after a few days Aunt Polly had come from Washington. She was very funny. She always used to give me a few dollars whenever she gave a visit to our house. I had always loved her. She also used to give me costly gifts on my birthday.”
“She always used to say me jokes. One day I gave a visit to Aunt Polly’s house. It was just a beautiful house. I would say that it was better than a palace of the King.”
I sometimes slept near her in the night and also in the afternoon.”
“One very day we had slept in the afternoon. That was a very funny moment. When we were sleeping I had a very much messed up dream about a ghost who ate me totally!”
Now Roy got scared when Louis spoke about the ghost. Then Louis comforted him by saying that it was just a dream. Now Roy was a bit relieved.
“I just woke up and screamed. Aunt Polly just got damn scared. She cried,” Holy Jesus! What just happened?”
“That was a very funny moment. You had to see her face and the way she said. I burst out laughing Roy. Hahahaha. That was an unforgettable moment.”
“Then another day me and my aunt were watching the movie: The Ring. In that the TV suddenly switched on and a ghost came out of the TV. After seeing that movie we decided to see some serials. But before we saw ‘em Aunt Polly had baked some cake and she brought it for us. After seeing the movie we had switched of the TV.”
“Then we returned with the cake. The remote was on the sofa and Aunt Polly sat on the remote without realizing that she sat on it. Even I did not realize that she sat on the remote. Suddenly the TV turned on. She was shocked and maybe she missed a heartbeat. She thought that the ghost in the movie was real. Then she felt something under her. She got up and she realized that the TV had switched on because she had sat on the remote.”
“I again burst out laughing. Oh my God! That day I did nothing but laugh!!”
“Then that day I called Jack to Aunt Polly’s house. He had then come.”
“I had told him about the TV mystery. He too burst out laughing. We both had a hearty laugh. Even Aunt Polly laughed a bit. We enjoyed. We were playing in one room. We were playing a game o’ cards. Aunt Polly knocked on the door but we were busy playing cards. Then she herself opened the door. We screamed, “Help! Ghost in the house!” as we didn’t realize that it was my Aunt. She too cried, “In the name of Holy Christ why do you scream!! You always scare me by that scream. Oh Jesus Christ what is happening. Why is everyone screaming?”
“Then again I and Jack burst out laughing because the way Aunt Polly said it. There were tears in our eyes. Our stomach also had started to pain.”
“Then it was evening and we both had left to our homes.”

Chapter 7:- The School Trip to an Amusement Park

“It was the night before the day when we had our field trip to an amusement park. I was very happy. I was packing my things which I needed for the next day. My mom also helped me in my work. I was very excited about the trip.”
“Then the next day I got ready and left for school. Then in the school the buses had arrived. I entered my class and saw everyone very excited and happy about the trip to the park. Then our teacher, Miss Rosy entered the class. She said us a boring lecture which was very important.”
“Then our ringmaster came in our class and asked us to form a line. But before that our whole class said a prayer for a safe journey.”
“Then we reached in the bus and we sat in whichever seat we had found was empty. I and Jack sat together. We talked about some things. Then after maybe half an hour we reached the park. All started screaming in the bus including me and Jack. Then our teacher asked us to get down of the bus silently. We then entered the amusement park. It was just so beautiful.”
“Then our teacher had said that we could play in any ride. And if they were hungry they could eat food in the park where they sold popcorn, cup noodles etc. I and Louis just ran towards the pool and dived in. Oh the dive was a must watch Roy.”
“After coming out of the pool we went to a dangerous ride in which we were not allowed to by our teachers. But we entered the ride. We sat and put our seat belts on. Then the ride began. The whole ride went up and started turning very damn fast as if you were in a mixer grinder!”
“After sometime Jack puked. He then started crying. I tried to make him understand that the ride will end soon. Then eventually the ride was then over. Our teacher saw us and scolded us both badly for going in such a dangerous ride. Then Jack stopped crying and we both apologized to our teacher and she forgave us. We were very happy and then promised her that we wont do this again.”
“We were now hungry and we both ate cup noodles. Then it was now time to
