There is a story about a school teacher named Mrs. Thompson. Standing in front of her 36 grade class on the first day of school, she told the children a lie. She said she 37 them all. But that was 38 , because there was a little boy called Teddy, whom she didn’t like at all.
Mrs. Thompson was 39 that he didn’t play well with other children, that his clothes were 40 and that he always needed a bath. 41 , when she received his records, she got a real 42 .
Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a smart child with ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners.”
His second grade 43 wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a deadly illness and life at home 44 be a struggle.”
His third teacher wrote, “ His mother’s death has been 45 to him.”
By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was 46 herself. She felt even worse when students 47 her beautiful C
hristmas presents, except for Teddy’s ---- a 48 that was one quarter full perfume（香水）.
After the children left she 49 for at least an hour.
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the 50 children in the class. Six years went by when she got a letter from Teddy, 51 that he had finished high school.
There followed another letter years later. Teddy 52 Mrs. Thompson to attend his wedding and asked 53 she could sit in the place usually kept for the 54 of the groom.
Teddy 55 in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you for believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important”
Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back saying “Teddy, you are wrong. In fact, I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”
