It's two weeks before Christmas in England and Mrs Smith is very busy.She buys a lot of Christmas cards to send to her friends and to her husband's friends.She puts them on the table in the room.Then,when her husband comes home from work,she says to him,"These are the Christmas cards for your friends.Could you please write the cards and I cook supper?"
Mr Smith doesn't say anything and walks into his study room,after a while,he comes back with a box full of Christmas cards.He puts them on the table and says,"They are from last year.I forgot to send them."
My grandfather was a teacher.He was the headmaster of a school for boys between the age of thirteen and eighteen.I knew he Was a kind and gentle man at heart,because when I was young and he was old,he gave me presents and set me on his knees and told me stories.But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.
At school when he walked into a room full of noisy boys,there was silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes.That boy went red in his face and looked down at his shoes If a boy brought him poor,careless work that was not the best that the boy could do,my grandfather picked the boy's work and threw it on the floor and shouted across the room.If the boy was late,or if he forgot to bring the work.He had to do it again and again.My grandfather never forgot.
He was a very different man at school from the man I saw day by day in his own room.
