Nora always wanted to teach.
The kids in her first-grade class were very poor.
Their migrant parents knew very little English.
One day Nora decided that they would read Mother Goose nursery rhymes the next day. Since there were not enough to go around, she asked her pupils to bring a book from home if they had one.
Antonino came to school the next day with a real live goose!
The kids laughed.
Antonino started to cry but then realized that it really was pretty funny.
And so, he laughed, too!
Nora knew she was going to like teaching!
