Fred's mother: "Do you hear me, Fred? Do you know it’s 9 o’clock already? Get up and go to school!"
Fred: "I don't want to go to school"
Fred's mother: "But you have to go"
Fred's mother:"The teachers don't understand me,
and I don't understand them either. The children, too. They don't like me, and
I don't like them either. That school hates me, and I hate it too."
Fred's mother: "But you have to go!"
Fred (almost crying): "Why? Why do I have to go
to school?"
Fred's mother: "Well, because you are fifty-five
years old and you are the headmaster."
