Two schoolfellows who hadn’t seen each other for ages ,met at the railway station. One of them was plump/stout ,another one was lean. They were glad to see each other, a lean classmate introduced his wife and son to his friend. They began to remember/recall the school days. When they started talking about their current position,it turned out to be that the plump classmate had risen to the high rank. After these words the attitude of the lean classmate to the plump one had changed.He started to fawn on his schoolfellow.It was frustrating for the plump one and he tried to knock him down a peg, but the lean one went on groveling on the dirt and they went away.
