I’ll see that everything is taken care of here at school.
What is your locker number?”
“C-129,” the stricken boy answered slowly.
The Principal made a note of the number on a pad on his desk as his telephone began to ring.
He picked up the phone in the other hand and said into the mouthpiece, “Principal Hawkins…….Yes, we’re just finishing up, thank you.”
The Principal walked over to Theodore and said,
“Theodore, your neighbor, Mrs Feilds, is here to take you home.
You can leave your books on the chair.”
Theodore got up leaving his books and papers sitting on the chair in his place.
When he left the office he saw that Mrs Fields was sitting in the reception area with her baby boy, Baby John John, sitting on her lap.
