苏拉杰是五班的一名学生。他是个好学又淘气的孩子。科学课下课后，他正和朋友们开玩笑。他的数学老师一进教室，他就回到了自己的座位上。开始上课了，老师正在向学生们提问。

The girls in the class would never look at him as his friend. The boys and girls would never speak with him. He would become the joker5 for everyone in the class.

事情就这样发生了。苏拉杰尿裤子了！他感到很惭耻。他想，他尿湿裤子的事一定会成为学校的热门话题！他的朋友们会谈论这件事谈上好几年。班上的女孩们绝对不会拿他当朋友了。男孩和女孩们永远都不会和他说话了，他会成为全班同学的笑柄。

The math teacher was watching Suraj for 10 minutes and saw him in some kind of trouble6. Suraj found that the teacher watching him and tried to act normal7.

数学老师盯着苏拉杰看了10分钟，发现他遇到了麻烦。苏拉杰注意到老师在看着他，就努力表现得很正常。

He felt that his heart would stop jumping very soon.

他觉得他的心脏很快就要停止跳动了。

The teacher again saw that Suraj was in trouble and she looked at him. He smiled at her. Kiran， Surajs classmate made a request8 to let him drink some water. Suddently9， Kiran from the back chair took his water bottle and started to move out of the classroom. As he cross Surajs desk， he dropped10 the water bottle. The bottle was opened and all water fell on Suraj.

老师又发现苏拉杰遇到了麻烦，她看着他，他就对她微笑。基兰，苏拉杰的同学，向老师请求去喝水。突然，坐在后排长椅上的基兰拿起水瓶开始朝教室外面走。在经过苏拉杰的桌子时，他不小心弄掉了水瓶。瓶子是打开的，所有的水都流到了苏拉杰身上。

It shocked everyone and teacher went to help Suraj at once. He asked a student to get a towel11 from the teachers office.

大家都很震惊，老师马上去帮助苏拉杰。他让一个学生从教师办公室拿来了一条毛巾。

His friends cleaned the desk. The teacher asked another student to bring a sport trousers for him to wear until his wet trousers got dry.

他的朋友們在清理桌子。老师让另一个学生带一条运动裤给他穿，直到湿裤子干了为止。

After school， Suraj came to Kiran and thanked him with all his heart. Kiran smiled and said， “Hey， I know！Because few months before I peed my trousers！”

放学后，苏拉杰找到基兰并衷心感谢他。基兰笑着说：“嘿，我知道你的感受！因为几个月前我也尿裤子了！”
