If you 37 something else to do the day you were punished, you could 38 a friend to stand in for you. Of course, you had to return the favour, but in that same month itself. Otherwise the favour cancelled itself out. So the students who stayed back for others and wanted the favour repaid, found ways to be punished that very month. 39 it happened, on that day a very dear aunt was visiting Mini on her way back to America. That afternoon was the only  40  Mini had of seeing her for another five years. Mini needed someone to stand in for her. That was a problem though it was the last day of the month. So anyone who helped her, would do so out of friendship's sake alone. She sought out Preeti, her “best'”friend. "Oh no Mini, I can't," Preeti said. "I have to coach my brother for his nursery entrance test. The kid just can't seem to get into any decent （體面的）school." And she spent a good  41 of time telling Mini of her brother's problems.
"Mohit, 42 you stay back for me?" Mini asked another friend who was dribbling a ball（運(yùn)球） in the playground. She knew he often just hung around after school. "To help the librarian? I  43 you'd told me earlier. I have to go to a relative's house with my father. Some other day perhaps," and  44 that Mohit fled.
By now, Mini was beginning to  45  if even one of her friends would 46  to stay. But she tried again. Three  47 friends and each one refused. Of course, no one said "no" outright. Mini was a great pal, after all. But each had a “reason”why they couldn't take her place that afternoon, and if only it were some other day...
So, after school Mini stayed back to help the  48 , Ms Mathur. And, when the remote Ms Mathur found her crying after everyone had left, it was she  49  surprised Mini by allowing her to leave to meet her aunt.
