Rumor: Bomb in the School

Rumors can be passed easily and are spread on an everyday basis. A rumor is like gossip; some of it true or untrue and it is passed around by word of mouth. Most rumors start off being true, then when it is being passed from one person to the other, it starts becoming untrue because some people forget details, add new information in, or just change the whole story around. In the rumor experiment conducted in class, a story was told to one person out of four. The first person had to repeat the same story to the next person who of course was waiting outside of the classroom, until it got to the fourth person. The story that the fourth person ended up with was extremely dissimilar from what was initially told to the first person. This is a prime example of how rumors change while they are being said from one person to the other.

One fine day, we were having usual classes. In the Physics class, we started hearing some kids screaming and some kids running here and there. We came out of the class to know the reason of the kids screaming.
