This is a story I found in my files that I would like to save here.
It is one of my favorites.
LICORICE IS GOING THE EXTRA MILE.
The little boy was sure he primary teacher did not like him because she was always having to discipline him. He paid her back by giving her extra trouble in class, and, in return, receiving an extra firm discipline.
One day a the little country store in their town, the little boy met his teacher. She was buying some candy at the counter, licorice, his favorite kind. She then asked if she could walk home with the little boy. As they walked, they shared that licorice candy, but they shared something else, too. They shared some feelings and some thoughts. They shared a little bit of themselves.
After that, the little boy knew his teacher liked him. He even suspected that she loved him. And he had a different feeling for her, too. So he paid her back for the love she showed for him by being a helper in class. He began to like Primary even.
Years later, the little boy, grown up, learned something special about that day. he learned that his teacher, (The one who didn't like him), had made a special point to find out from his mother just exactly when he was to be at that little country store. She even found out what kind of candy was his favorite. He found out that she knew he was worth the time and the trouble. How grateful he was that she knew that , for him, LICORICE IS GOING THE EXTRA MILE.
