A Story in Two Parts--Part I

I teach school in a place where everybody knows your name.  Our kids are raised without a city mentality.  They are mostly basketball players or farmboys.

Last year, a couple of junior boys were involved in an incident.  These boys were good friends and just playing around. Boy #1 gets his pocketknife out and has it open.  Boy #2--not knowing the knife is out or open--accidentally turns and swipes his forearm against the blade.  Boy #2 needed instant help and eventually went to the hospital to receive care.  Boy #1 was in school next day.  This is the young man with the knife!  I suppose "public opinion" eventually forced a reevaluation of the stituation and Boy #1 may have been suspended for a day about a week later.

End of story.  See tomorrow for the conclusion of this great drama.
