In a class of 40 students
There was a boy who did not remember his name
He did not remember his parents or home
He did not remember to bring his pencil box either.

He asked his classmate
A boy of his age sitting beside him
If he could borrow a pencil

His classmate refused
Although he had a box full of pencils.
He never shared anything he had.

In a class of 40 students
A teacher noticed a boy who did not bring his homework
“Stand at the back of the class!” she shouted at the boy.
The poor boy became the laughing stock of the class.

In a class of 40 students
There was a boy who suffered from forgetfulness
No one knew and no one noticed.
He never came back to class the next day
He is still no where to be found
