Drawing contest fraud

A terrible and deceitful thing happened during a drawing contest for elementary school students held by the train loving community in Gambir Station on Oct. 2, 1994.

Unfortunately one of the young participants tried to win the contest by foul play.

When the presentation of prizes was almost over, a mother unexpectedly lodged a protest saying that the winning drawing by a pupil at the Argentina Elementary School was actually prepared by her son, Anton. The name of the original painter was covered with white out. A meticulous examination proved that the false painter was no longer a pupil of that elementary school, but a Junior High School student from Cikini.

The naughty child admitted to the fraud only after she had been challenged.

I suffer to think that a elementary school student is ready to deceive when they are supposed to be pure in heart.
