Chapter 2: Clash And Connection: "the Fight" (By Ruskin Bond)
In Ruskin Bond's "The Fight," Ranji finds a private swimming pool, but encounters Suraj, a larger, aggressive boy who claims ownership. Their initial **confrontation escalates into a fierce fight** that ends in a stalemate. The next day, rather than fighting again, they discover **mutual respect** for each other's unique skills (Ranji's swimming, Suraj's wrestling). This leads to an unlikely **friendship** based on shared interests and cooperation, demonstrating how conflict can unexpectedly resolve into connection.
