Four friends, Licia, Lavanya, Manoja and Prerna, went to school together. They were punctual and would reach school ten minutes before the bell rang every day.
One day, on their way to school, they saw something near a garbage bin. They went near the bin only to find a baby. They decided the best thing to do would be to take the baby along and hand it over to the police. They walked to the nearest police station. An officer understood what the girls had done and asked them to put the baby on a table in the next room. The girls asked if the police would be able to find the baby’s mother and the officer said that it would take some time, but they would try their best. He asked them to go to school and appreciated their kindness.
They went to school and met the principal as they were late. When they told her what had happened, the principal felt happy and appreciated them. “You will grow up to be good human beings.” Everyone congratulated them for doing such a noble deed. After school, the principal accompanied the children to the police station. Nobody had come to claim the baby girl. The principal decided to adopt the baby. She had to follow some formalities to do so. Now, the four friends visit the baby at her new home.
