Charan Episode III: One-legged hop tag

After class another volunteer and I played a game of one-legged hop tag with my students. They were whispering something in Hindi to each other, I didn't catch on to what they were saying. One by one, each student seemed to fall on their butt before they could catch me. Finally, it dawned on me: They were letting us win! I told them, "Try! Try!" But one by one, each child feigned a fall to the ground until the other teacher and I were the only people left standing. Suddenly they all stood up, encircled us with their arms in the air, some of them hugging us, some of them giving us handshakes, all of them shouting, "Winner! Winner!"
