That is your teacher, are you going to greet her? Joel asked.
I don't know her, Monday said. He hissed and walked out. The teacher heard what he said but she decided not to interfere.
On their way home, Joel told his brother that what he had done was wrong. You should have greeted her. She is your teacher and you wronged her by attacking her, he said.
Don't preach to me, Sunday said.
But you have to hear the truth. Mummy and Daddy have been talking to you but you have refused to listen. A child who listens to his parents is a good child and such a child hardly gets into trouble, Joel said.
Monday decided to ignore him. He wondered why Joel was like their father and mother, always preaching to him. He did not like it one bit.
