Third story

This was shared by a teacher from the kindergarten that Iworked at. Yes, the same one with the TV incident. This time, it happened at another bay- the one near principal's office.
         A  new boy came to school on that the day. The nursery teacher took him into the classroom as he came later than the rest.
He was not crying when he by-pass the counter area before reaching the nursery classroom.
        The moment he stepped in, he ran off. He ran to the counter and tried to pull open the main door to go out. The teacher tried to carry him in, thinking that it was probably Separation anxiety.
The second time that the boy entered the room, he was in tears and screaming " Don't want! Don't want!".  However, the teacher did not let go, and carried him on her lap while she began her lesson. The boy was restless and struggled for a while before losing strength.
He sat still, but grabbed her arm tightly, his eyes watching the metal shelf where students's portfolios were kept. When the lesson was over, the students went to the learning centers to play, while the boy sticked close to the teacher as she tidied the things near the whiteboard. The only time that he did not follow her was when she went to the shelf.
         During dismissal time, two students were left with the teacher, one was the boy and the other was a girl who has been in school for about half a year. They sat at the counter with the teacher, which was situated outside the classroom.
"Teacher," the boy began, "who's that person sitting on top of the shelf?"
The teacher looked puzzled, "what person?"
"The girl with the very, very long hair,"  the other student pointed out,"always sit  there one."
"why never go home ah? " she asked.
Both  looked at the teacher, waiting for an answer.
The teacher stared at the metal shelf. There's absolutely nothing on top of the shelf.
