It was the day before independence. Our class teacher announced that the next day would be a holiday. My class
of eight-to-ten years old exploded with joy. We did not realize the significant of the event. To us all holidays were
wonderful and causes for celebration in them.
The bell rang. Actually the ‘bell’ was a long iron bar hit several times with an iron rod by Imran, a Standard Five
pupil, who happened to be the headmaster’s son. Besides being entrusted with the August task of signalling the
start and end of school, he was the only pupil to wear a wristwatch.
The pupils filed out the classrooms to make their way home. Most of them walked the mile or two to their homes
while a few rode bicycles. There were about twenty bicycles belonging to both teachers and pupils’ parents parked
under a large Angsana tree behind the school.
I was one of the lucky ones. As I made my way to the tree, I saw that my sister Fatimah, was already waiting for
me. I would ride with her on our father’s old but famous Raleigh. My father was one of the few in Sanglang, our
village, to own a bicycle. Ah Seng one of the three shopkeepers in the village, had told him that Raleigh was the
best make in the world. It was an English make, therefore it was superior. I observed that every part; the tyres,
pedals, dynamo, light bulbs was manufactured in the nation our teacher described as the richest, the most
powerful on earth and having widespread colonies including our country, Malaya.
Our Ways by Ismail Husin.
