The Fun They Had

Maggi even wrote about it that night in her diary on the page headed 17 May 2157, today Tommy found a real book. It was a very old book Margie grandfatherwhat said that when he was a little boy his grandfather told him that there was a time when all stories by printed on paper dated the pages which were yellow and green clay and it was awfully funny to read words that stood still instead of moving the way there were supposed to on a screen you know and then when they turned back to the period before it had the same words on it that it had had when they read it the first time Jesus Tommy what a waste when you are through with the book you just do it I will I get our televisions ke must have had a million books on it and it's good for plenty more I wouldn't throw it away same with mine said she was 11 and hadn't seen as many tell books as Tommy had he was 13 she said where did you find it in my house he pointed without looking because he was busy lead in the attic school was scornful School what's there to write about school I hate school Mari always hated school but now she hit it more than ever the mechanical teacher had been giving her test after test in geography and she had been doing worse and worse until her mother had taken her had sorrowful and send her for the country is factor he was around little man and a red face and your whole box of tools with dialogues and wires his smile at marquee and gave her an apple then took the teacher apart market head hope he wouldn't know how how to do it together again but he knew how alright and after an hour or so that it was again large and black and ugly with a big screen on which all lessons were shown and the questions were asked that wasn't so bad appa Marg hita most was the slot where she had to put homework and test papers she always had to write them out in a 5 ko de made her learn where she was 6 years old and the mechanical teacher calculated the marks in no time .

Dennis pata hai smile after he was finished and tightened his head he said to her mother it's not the little girls for Mr Joe ride the geography sector was reared a little too quick those things happen sometimes I have looked it up to an average 10 year level actually the overall pattern of a progress is quite satisfactory and hi pata market head again the market was disappointed she wouldn't take the teacher away all together they had was taken Thomas teacher away for nearly a month because St sector was planned out completely so she said to Tommy why would anyone write about school pammal looked at her with ways to wear a eyes because it's not our kind of school stupid this is the old kind of school then they had hundreds and hundreds of years ago he had locked leave pronouncing the word cafele centuries ago he was hurt when I don't know what kind of school they had all the all the time ago she read the book over his shoulder for a while then save any way that was that had a teacher sure they had a teacher but it wasn't a regular teacher it was a man and man how could a man be a teacher well I just told boys and girls thanks and gave them homework and asked that question is a smart enough so he's mine for the nose as much as my teacher he knows about as much I wasn't prepared to dispute that I wouldn't want a strange man in my house to teach me promise claimed loafer you wouldn't know much marking the teachers didn't live in the house they had a special building and all the kids went there and all the kids learn the same thing sure if they were the same age but my mother is a teacher has to get justice to fit the mind of equal and girl it teachers and that each kid has been caught differently just the same day details do it that way then if you would don't like it you don't have to read the book I didn't say I didn't like it he said quickly she wanted to read about those who they went even half finished when Marcus motherchod mark School UP not get mama now send message jokes probably X photo Mattu to Tommy can I read the book some more with you after school maybe his eight months land Li he walked away whistling duck the street old rugby is a Marg you went into the schoolroom it was right next to her bedroom and a mechanical teacher was on and waiting for her it was always on at the same time everyday expect Saturday and Sunday because her mother said little girls learnt better if they learn at regular how was the screen was lit up and its a today's arithmetic lesson is on the addition of proper fractions please insert studies homework in the proper slot market it so we assign she was thinking about the old school day had when her grandfather so hole grandfather was a little boy all the kids from the in the school yard whole neighborhood ke laughing and shouting in the school yaar setting together in theschool room going home together at the end of the day they learn the same thing so they could help one another with the homework and talk about it and the Teachers were people the mechanical teacher was flashing on the screen when he at fractions were upon 2 and 1 upon 4 was thinking about how the kids must have loved it in the old days she was thinking about the fun they had.
