    I have an honours degree in Mathematics from the Open University and taught in Scotland before gaining an M.A. in English Literature. I taught English to O Level International GCSE Cambridge students for 14 years in Pakistan and was Head of Department there. My Haiku on Cultural Diversity is published in UNESCO’S Cultural Report 2000. My story of Big Samson The Big Lion (in a much shorter form) was accepted for publication by Oxford University Press, but never published for technical reasons. Currently, I have published about 12 e-books on the teaching of English, novels, short stories and poetry. My Spelling book was ranked number 1 in its category on Amazon. My interests include chess, badminton, bridge and astronomy. (Pervaiz Salik)

      Modern Plays With Morals - Pervaiz Salik

      Act 1, Scene 1

      [In the classroom]

      (Mr Cliff comes into the classroom. He is holding a set of examination scripts.)

      Mr Cliff: Good morning, students.

      Class: Good morning, sir.

      Ali: Are these our Geography test papers, sir?

      Mr Cliff: Yes, I’ve just finished marking them. Although this was an easy test, most of you got poor grades. Almost all of you must study harder before your Annual Examination to improve your grades to B at least. And some (looking at Paul) will need extra coaching classes just to pass. Now for your marks: the twins – both C grade; Aisha – B grade; Sam – D grade; Tom – just managed to get a C grade. And Ali gets A-plus as usual, an excellent result. Now let’s continue with our study of important cities and industries of Russia.

      Paul: Sir, what about my paper? You’ve forgotten me.

      Mr Cliff: I wish I could forget you! Here’s your paper – F grade, as always. I think you must try to remember at least two continents on this planet, Paul. And by the way, the capital of Russia is not London!

      (The whole class bursts out laughing. Paul looks dejected and disappointed as he skims through his paper.)

      Scene 2

      [At Paul’s home]

      Mother: Paul, have you got your Geography test marks yet?

      Paul: No, not yet. Mr Cliff is still checking the papers.

      Mother: Are you sure? It’s been a week now.

      Paul (worried): Yes, I’m sure. Mr Cliff's a very lazy teacher.

      Mother: Don’t say these things about your teacher. Now make yourself useful. Go to the supermarket and get these groceries for me while I do the dishes.

      (She hands Paul a shopping list.)

      Father (puzzled): Paul, didn’t you tell me yesterday that Mr Cliff is always quick at checking?

      Paul (quickly and eagerly taking the shopping list and the money): Must go, dad, before the supermarket closes.

      (Paul rushes out of the room before his father can ask him any more awkward questions.)

      Scene 3

      [Outside the supermarket]

      Paul: I’ve got the eggs, milk and other things, but I still have some money left over. I'm sure Mum won’t mind if I buy a new pen for my Annual Examination.

      (noticing a strange new stationery shop)

      Igor’s Stationery Shop. I’ve never seen this shop before. It must be new. I must go in and see what it’s like.

      (Paul enters the shop and looks admiringly at the goods for a full five minutes before he realises that he is alone. No one seems to be in the shop.)

      Paul (shouting): Hello – anybody here?

      Mr Igor (coming out of a small storeroom): Hello, Paul.

      Paul: How do you know my name?

      Mr Igor: It doesn’t matter. Would you like to buy a pen?

      Paul: Yes, I need a new pen for my exams but I’ve only got two pounds, and your cheapest pen is five pounds.

      Mr Igor: Don’t worry about that. You can pay me the rest later. Here, take this stylish pen with refills. You'll love this pen – I can guarantee that.

      Paul (examining it): Okay, if it’s fine with you. Thank you very much.

      Mr Igor: It's my pleasure. Do come again.

      Paul (leaving the shop): Bye, Mr Igor.

      Mr Igor: Goodbye, Paul. See you later.

      Scene 4

      [At Paul’s home]

      Mother: Paul, I’ve told you a hundred times to stop watching the football match. Go to your room and study for your history test tomorrow.

      Paul: Oh, mum! Do I have to? All these dates and events – I just can't remember them. I hate
