mr.K started to go to the phone.
AL's fears made him raise his voice,he wanted to show he was afraid of nobody.
he acted this way every time he got into trouble.
this had happened many times since he left school.
at such times he always spoke in a loud voice as he did tonight.
"just a minute"he said to mr. K"you don't have to get anybody else into this. you don't have to call her."AL tried tp show big.but deep down he was like a child.
he hoped that someone at home would come quickly to save him.
but mr.K was already talking to his mother. he told her to come to the store in a hurry.
AL thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger.
maybe she would be crying ,and would push him away when he tried to explain to her.
she would make him feel small. yet he wanted her to come quickly before mr.K called in a policeman.
AL and mr.K waited but said nothing. at last they heard some one at the close door.
mr.K opened it and said "come in ,mrs.P" his face was hard and serious.
AL's mother came in with a friendly smile on her face.and put out her hand to mr.K and said politely:"i am mrs.P, AL's mother".
mr.K was surprised at the way she came in.
she was very calm , quiet, and friendly.
"is AL in trouble?"mrs.P asked.
"he is.he has been taking things from the store. little things like toothpaste and lipsticks,things can easily sell"
mrs.P looked at her son and said sadly:"is it so,AL?"
"yes"
"why have you been doing it?"she asked.
"i've been spending money,i believe."
"on what?"
"going around with the boys, i guess"said AL. |
