Skipping her lessons

You know some days when you just can’t force yourself to work? Well, today is one such day for me. It’s quite lucky that I’m my own boss, and can sometimes decide that what will benefit my work the most would be a good rest.

The same wouldn’t be true for a girl at school, who decided one morning that she didn’t fancy going to lessons at all, but wanted instead to spend some time on relaxing with a book on school grounds.

I wonder if a classmate would be sent to fetch her? When they returned to class together, the girl would be called to the front for a swift slippering, before being sternly told to sit down and do some work.

Or maybe nobody would come to bring her back to class, but she would try to sneak back after an hour or so reading by the lake – only to be met by the teacher whose lesson she’d missed. He would take her by the ear and march her into an empty classroom for a caning.

I must confess, either option would work for me right now.
