Kasaragod (India) - This could have been the craziest excuse to avoid taking a test - if it hadn't actually happened! In India, a bird of prey stole a student's admission papers shortly before an important exam. However, nobody expected the outcome of this curious situation ...

As News18 reports, the incident took place on Thursday morning at Government UP School Kasaragod , where students had gathered for a Kerala Public Service Commission exam.

Among them was a young man who was waiting in the queue to make quick corrections to his papers when an eagle suddenly swooped down on him and snatched his admission to the exam.

The animal then flew onto a window sill on the top floor of the school, holding the paper in its claws. A video of the incident made the rounds on social media and caused a lot of laughter.

The student concerned certainly didn't feel like laughing at that moment; after all, the exam was just around the corner and he had no chance of taking it without the stolen piece of paper.

A crowd quickly formed under the bird to watch what would happen next.

Apparently, the eagle finally took pity on its victim and then, just a few minutes before the start of the test, dropped the letter of admission directly into the hands of the relieved student.

After the unbelievable incident , the Indian was able to enter the examination hall just in time. In future, he will probably always hold on to his papers very tightly outside.
