PUBLIC AND COMPULSORY SCHOOL

Public and compulsory school

   The little dog approached the teacher Laggard that passed the lesson on the board, asked to go to the bathroom and the teacher Laggard answered:

    -Only after the little Kangaroo comes back!

    The little snake observed it, approached the board too, asked to go to the bathroom and the teacher Laggard answered:

   -Only after the little dog comes back.

   The little dove heard it, approached the board, asked to go the bathroom, but the teacher Laggard didn’t allow and then the little dove questioned:

   -If everybody can, why can’t I?

   And the teacher Laggard said:

   -Because you have wings. If I allow that you leave the classroom, you will fly out of the school.
