[Sidenote: Throw Shot]
Shot had been thrown in Prof. Lyon’s recitation room at Huron High
School. He suspected that Paul Robinson was the offender and when he and
Paul were alone together Prof. Lyon smiled and said, “Paul, there was
some little shot or something rolling over the floor today. I want you
to help me find where they came from. Wait a minute, let me show you
what one of these shot looks like.”
While Prof. Lyon was feigning to look over the floor for one of the
shot, Paul said, “O, I know what they look like.” Prof. Lyon smiled at
the boy’s confession and dismissed him. Paul didn’t feel like throwing
shot in Prof. Lyon’s room again, because of this considerate treatment.
