An Elderly Rightful Grassy Affair

The Old Man with gray hair walked up to a 4 storey commercial building and stood near the entrance. It was the day after the State examination results had come out. And students with beaming faces were rushing in and out of the building. On the top floor were a private tutorials who had vigorously taught those students around the year to score their most, and so had many of their students scored. They were the ones who were now rushing in and out of the building.
The Old Man loosened his grip of the suit case he held, then slowly lowered it to the ground, and let it rest. " Hey kid!" the Old Man hissed to a passing student. "Tell me who scored the most from this tutorials of yours". "That guy in the yellow t shirt, you see. The one with spectacles", the student replied pointing to another student in a yellow t shirt and wearing spectacles. "Ohk..good", the Old Man said shoving the kid away " Now go on".
The guy in yellow t shirt and spectacles soon became aware of staring eyes. He turned to see an Old Man with gray hair and a long gray over-coat staring at him. His stare seemed unusual.
The Old Man signaled the kid to come near. The kid a bit confused approached. "Whats your good name kid?", asked the Old Man with gray hair. " Jack....Jack Ass sir" replied the kid with yellow t shirt and specs. " So tell me Jack Ass, do you feel good about your performance?" "Absolutely sir. My parents and teachers are super proud of me." " Hmm..and why did you perform so good?" "Sir? what..i don't get you" " Chuck that..how did you get those glasses? Did you watch a lot of cartoons kid?" " No sir..never..not at all..i don't mean to be humble sir, but the glasses are, mom says because i read a lot" "Oh..and what do you read?" "That which i am supposed to read..you know text books, reference ones, newspapers. Something that always tell me how the world is" "Oh..and did the newspapers tell you a lot about the world?" "Yes sir they indeed did"  "Are you sure the spectacles aren't because of watching cartoons?"  "Well sir, if it clears your doubt i am happy to tell you that i anyway loathe something as useless as cartoons"  " Well Jack Ass, as i guessed..you really are a very healthy example of an ideal student"



The Old Man stooped to open his bag and continued, " You deserve an award for this. We at ‘The Old Man’s barn’ are proud to honour you my dear boy with this gift you indeed deserve and need too”, saying this the Old Man yield a shot gun out of his case and shot two rounds into the boy, sending him flying almost five feet away from where the Old Man was standing.
