Honest Question !!!

When DS was in 10th std he had a very good Mathematics teacher who taught well and fast. The first six chapters were covered like anything and DS apparently understood them all. After a while, whole class was broken into different batches and distributed to other sections where DS happened to find another Mathematics teacher who was till struggling with second chapter.

This Guru was amazing piece of shit with his methodology. He would write a question on board and start asking questions. Till he gets the right answer he would keep asking the question and keep drubbing poor kid. For a whole long time DS was the saviour. The questioning would end at DS and rest of the kids would be spared. After a while Guru Ji stopped asking DS and things went fine. Chapters were covered and then Guru Ji came to eighth chapter which DS didn't know that how to do. Once day Guru Ji happened to ask DS and was so happy to note that answer was missing. He massaged his arms as his mouth was watering with the prospect of exercising his power over the only remaining kid in group.


But before he could do anything, he was shocked when DS asked him a question. Guru Ji .. Have you taught this before ? Guru Ji said  .. No. Asked DS, then why are you asking me to tell you that how to solve this problem .. isn't that you who is supposed to do that ?

Guru Ji was taken back. At last some one asked the question he dreaded. And then Guru Ji began explaining that how to solve the problem and got stuck in explanations ........something which he hadn't done before.

DS asked many questions and Guru Ji got fully irritated ...

Finally very angrily Guru Ji asked DS, tell me what you have not understood ?

Asked DS : Sir Ji, I have not understood that if you have understood the problem !!!

And just then ..Bell Rang !! The bell probably saved the rewards this honest question deserved apart from the shocks man received at DS's hands.
