Story 40 Its Unfair Linda was a good girl, but she was often late for school. One day, she was late again. When she came in, Mr. Clark, her teacher said angrily, Ill tell you father if you are late again. Linda didnt want him to do that. Because her father was very strict with her. The next morning, Linda got up early. She hurried to school. At the school gate, she heard the first bell, What shall I do? she asked herself, Ill turn it in first. She decided. And so she did. When she hurried into her classroom, Mr. Clack was already beginning his class. Linda! Didnt I tell you to be here on time? Mr. Clack said as he as her. Im sorry, sir, Linda tried to explain, Im late because I had to? I dont listen to any excuse, Mr. Clack stopped her. If you cant get here on time, I have to tell your father. But Mr. Clack. Its its unfair! Unfair! How dare you say that? Mr. Clack said angrily, Ill report you to the headmaster. I was only trying to do a good idea, Linda thought,and now She couldnt keep back her tears. When the bell rang for the break, the door opened and Mr. White, the headmaster came in. he was holding a wallet in his hand, Excuse me, Mr. Clack. Is this your wallet? Oh,yes. Its my wallet. Who found it? I must thank him. |
