Read the passage

Arjun opened his tiffin box at lunch. He expected idlis. Instead he found two chapatis and some aloo sabzi.

He looked at the box again. It was blue, but his box had a small dent on the lid. This one did not.

Then a boy from the next bench came up. "I think I have your idlis," he said, holding a blue box with a dent.

They laughed and swapped. After that they ate lunch together every day.
