You have a student in your class. Very nice child.
He told you once that he dreams about a puppy.
A little white puppy. Or black. Or grey. Or any at all.
He thinks about him day and night for very long time.
And he told you that after months, he convinced his parents to buy one.
But the problem was, that nobody succeeded to finish this simple task.
The task of going and buying a puppy for a little child.
Many tried but nobody really succeeded.
He told you his story and looked in your eyes.
You looked back and saw there a hope.
A hope that you will help him,
A hope that you know how,
A hope that you go and buy a puppy with him.
You cannot resist the depth of this glowing hope.
You melt like the April snow.
Of course, you agree.
It takes the geography teacher to show them how to do it!
It is up to you then to do their job!
You decide to go to buy a puppy today.
.
But first you have to check these test papers.
You open the work from the top of the pile.
You have some reservations with "New-York is the USA capital" and write -5 near it.
You are too destructed by the thought of buying the puppy and you give the allover mark 75.
.
"Belgium is the capital of Brussels" - makes you reflect.
You check the map on the wall, and yes, here it is: The word "Belgium" is smaller then "Brussels".
Well, at least there is some logic in the answer and you put -15.
You don't read the rest of the test and put the mark 75.
.
You strike through some other bad answers - Russia is half in Europe and half in Africa.
Well -20 is fair enough, especially as this question's best answer could score 15.
.
I LOVE YOU - you stop for a while here.
Why ALL BOLDS? You don't find any reason, but maybe the child has some reason that you are too dumb to understand?
Anita Bonto.
Hm.
And the question is: Where do you live?
You do not know what to write.
You understand her totally. (Shouldn't you? Why do they pay you else? It is so easy to write it.
You could just put a "V" and finish the sufferings of doubt.
Just do it.
JUST DO IT!
Well! Why don't you put V on this paper!
Nu. DO IT!!!!
This question's score is just 25, so Put "V" or "-25", Just do something.
Are you sure that you want to sit here until your pension?
Just being on the safe side, you put -45 (let them think why!)
You go to topple this whisky bottle down into your throat.
Half drown up, you continue to check the tests.
After this exercise, tests go easier.
"Greenland is green" - Of course. Why else the name?
"Iceland stands on ice" - of course.
People who gave names were responsible enough, were they not?
So the answer "The Pacific is the quietest ocean" is self-explanatory.
Want to put -20 but succeed only -2.
The red pen is out of ink.
You check in your bag - there is no other red pen.
What should you do?
Make marks by blue?
You decide against it and are too happy to stop working.
You put the tests in the closet, take your bag and go out.
On the school's stairs, you phone the boy.
Today he cannot come with you to buy the puppy.
You promise to do it some other time and go home.
But near the bus station you see a pet shop and enter.
You do not need the boy to buy him a puppy.
You can do it alone.
What's more, this Pekingese, totally black with a cluster of white around the nose, looks at you and hipnotise to take him.
You cannot resist those deep without bottom eyes looking at you and buy him.
The child sure will be happy tomorrow when he will see his puppy.
You go home.
You play with him all the evening.
You give him to sleep near you and hear his fast breath,
It makes you sleepy.
.
In the morning, he wakes you by leaking your fingers.
You decide to leave the puppy to yourself.
You cannot give him to anybody.
And the child doesn't need to know that you have bought a puppy.
Somebody else will buy it to him.
And you happily smile to your puppy.
