Shri Hari ram is our school peon. He is an old man. He is about fifty-seven years old. His hair is grey. He has been working in our school for the last fifteen years. Before coming here he was in the government service.
He is very simple. He wears a khaki uniform. He sits outside the headmaster’s office. He rings the bell on time. He carries the headmaster’s order to the teachers and the students. Throughout the day he keeps on moving here and there. But he never feels tired. He is always happy.
He respects the headmaster and the teachers. They also respect him. He loves students. All the students respect him. All call him “Holder”.
His duty is very hard. But his pay is very small. Yet he is satisfied with what he gets.
