It
was the first day of school. The previous principal had just retired
and a new principal just started. As the principal made his rounds,
he heard a terrible commotion coming from one of the classrooms.
He rushed
in and spotted one boy, taller than the others, who seemed to be
making the most noise. He seized the lad, dragged him to the hall,
and told him to wait there until he was excused.
Returning
to the classroom, the principal restored order and lectured the
class for half an hour about the importance of good behavior.
"Now,"
he said, "are there any questions?"
One
girl stood up timidly. "Please sir," she asked, "May
we have our teacher back?" |
