A school teacher started his first job at a primary
school and was eager to make a good impression on the
kids. So, when he noticed a boy standing all by himself
during recess, while the other kids were playing a game
of soccer, he walked up to him and asked "Are you
alright?"
The boy assured him everything was fine and the teacher
left it at that. A few minutes later, however, he noticed
that the boy was still standing alone and had not joined
the other boys.
Deciding to find out what was wrong this time, the teacher
approached him again and said, " Hi, are you sure
you're not feeling left out? Would you like me to be your
friend?"
The boy obviously felt a little embarrassed, but after
a little hesitation said, "Maybe". Encouraged
by his progress, the teacher asked, "Tell me, why
are you standing here alone?"
"Because", the boy said with clear exasperation
in his voice. "I am the goalie" |
