    Nagaraj and Rajaram were thick friends.
    Both of them were working as teachers in a high school.
    Nagaraj was very very soft spoken and he would not poke his nose in others' matters .
    Rajaram would always be joking at the expense of others. He would mock at others , and sometimes his sarcasm would cross the limit.
    Nagaraj would always bear with others and was very generous , especially with his friend Rajaram.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Rajaram , in the course of time , got two promotions and became an Inspector of schools.
    Nagaraj remained as a teacher . He never opted for promotion. " Enough is enough " was his motto . He took free tuitions to the students.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    It was inspection time and Rajaram , as the Inspector , visited the school.
    It so happened one day , when Nagaraj was taking English , Rajaram entered the class . The two friends smiled at each other, shook hands , briefly exchanged enquiry about them and proceeded to the lessons.
    Rajaram called a student and asked him to punctuate :
    " the Inspector said the teacher is a fool ".
    The student punctuated it as :
    The inspector said , " The teacher is fool".
    Rajaram looked at Nagaraj and smiled at him sarcastically .
    In turn Nagaraj soberly smiled at him .
    Dilip was the most intelligent boy in the class.
    Nagaraj asked Dilip to come to the board and punctuate the same sentence.
    Dilip punctuated the sentence as:
    "The inspector ", said the teacher , " is a fool ".
    You must have watched Rajaram's face .
