SYNOPSIS:

Few School children along with their teacher go to a National Park for study tour. Inside the park on their way they find a tunnel comes in between. Children are excited to enter into it. They are also accompanied by a friend who is a blind boy who walks holding the hands of others. Unfortunately, there seems to be a power cut and the tunnel gets darker enough to walk. Though the teacher knows before that the tunnel usually well-lit and so does not come prepared with a torch. It becomes quite difficult for the children to walk further. Meanwhile, to everyone’s surprise the blind boy opens his white cane and guides everyone to come out of the tunnel smoothly.
