He Got Angry

I was employed as an English teacher in a junior secondary school. I gave the students in Jss 1 class homework saying, "Write a story that ends with, ''And so, he got angry''." I didn't specify the amount of words to be written.

A little girl didn't even go home to write hers, but used only 3 minutes to write it in class after I left.

The next day, all the students submitted their work. I marked till the last one which was the little girl's own. I was smiling while marking because, all the students did well. Some were able to write about 400 words and over.

I opened the girl's own and it read, ''Our teacher gave us homework, but I didn't want to do it, I wrote only two lines, and so, he got angry''.
