But he had to be punished some way,
and so one day I kept him after school
•and then told him I must whip him
hard, but not at that time. I explained
to him what I was going to punish him
for, 'but,' I said, 'I shall not do it to
night. I may do it tomorrow or the
day after, but I will not tell you when
the whipping is to come until I am
ready to do it.' My little plan was a
success, for the next night he waited
till all the rest had gone and then came
to me with tears in his eyes and begged
me to whip him then. I didn't, though,
and told him I wouldn't until he dig
obeyed again. He has been the molt
obedient boy in the school ever siheje.
