I work in a very busy office in a primary school.One morning, I got a phone call from a man.
“Please help me, Mrs. Black!” the man said on the phone.“My girl's teacher asked her to spell ten words.Could you please help her to finish the homework?”
Of course, that wasn't my job, but I still asked,“Do you want me to do the homework?”
“Yes, it won't take you long to finish it,” the man said.
“Well, that was not really why the teacher gave her the homework.She needs to learn to spell the words by herself,” I explained.
“So what should I do then?” the man asked.
I told him to bring his daughter to the library.There she could look up the words in a dictionary.The man said he would like to go there.I put down the phone and shook my head.
Fifteen minutes later, I was surprised to see my father walk to my office and put a piece of paper in front of me, saying, “This was your homework twenty years ago, Jenny.Let's go to the library to finish it now.”
