“Of course not,” said Mrs. Jewls. “Louis was just telling a story.”
“It was a good story,” said Leslie.
“I thought it was stupid,” said Kathy.
“I liked it,” said Rondi. “It was funny.”
Mrs. Jewls said, “Louis, it was a very entertaining story. But we don’t really go in for fairy tales here. I’m trying to teach my class the truth.”
“That’s all right,” said Louis. “I have to go down to room twenty-nine now and tell them a story.” He started out the door.
“Class,” said Mrs. Jewls. “Let’s all thank Louis for his wonderful story.”
Everybody booed.
