Kothala: Just a few yards to run third to the finishing point. That’s when Abhinav saw his friend, who was running second, fall. If you run a little longer, you can win second place and win the prize. But he loved to leap to goodness. Forgetting the competition, his hands reached out to his friend. His friend, who had fallen down, picked up KR Abhidev. The dust was relieved. By then, those who were behind had run up and taken second and third place.
But Abhinav T Sujith, a fourth grader, ran into the hearts of the onlookers. The teachers of Kothala NSS School are clapping and encouraging Abhinav’s son, who forgot the competition and lost for his friend. Abhinam and Abhidev, students of class 4A, participated in the 200 meters race in the kids’ section on the school’s sports day.
Abhidev, who was running in front, fell while they were running along the track amid the applause of their friends, and Abhinav held his hand and lifted him up. The school authorities immediately applauded Abhinav’s performance by announcing it over the mic.
