Entombed within these chests of solid stone,

Make themselves felt by their distressful sighs?"

With their disciples, from all sects, and more

Than you'll believe are loaded in these tombs.

Some monuments are hotter and some less."

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Our School has one main gate and three entrances to enter. In the mornings all the four gates are opened, and we can walk into the school through any gate. After 7:20 all the other gates will be closed, and we can go out and come inside the school only through the main gate.  

The security at the main gate is a tall young man in his thirties who has studied till 12th standard and could not continue his studies , as he had to feed two younger sisters and, since the age of 20 he has been working in our school sometimes as peon, sometimes dropping the students at home if they were sick, helping the school administration during examination times. He was good in many languages. Learning languages was his hobby.

He learned karate and other ancient art of fighting. With all this, he was well equipped for the post of Security. Besides all this he was humble, amicable was honest and truthful. He was very caring and trustworthy. What else can our school ask for?

We all like and respect him for his genuineness and he is there for all of us. Such is our love for him. He also has a good memory and knew most of us by our names. His name is Sal.
