[Sidenote: Marking Desks]
Miss Simons looked down the row of seats in the second grade room and
saw that Forrest Short was drawing on his desk with his lead pencil. She
walked back to his seat and saw that the drawing represented an apple.
She said, “Forrest, how did this drawing of an apple get on your desk?”
Startled and abashed, Forrest whispered, “I don’t know anything about
it.”
Miss Simons walked away and said no more.
