A school teacher injured his back and had to wear
a plaster cast around the upper part of his body.
It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at
all. On the first day of the term, still with the
cast under his shirt, he found himself assigned to
the toughest students in school. Walking
confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened
the window as wide as possible and then busied
himself with desk work. When a strong breeze made
his tie flap, he took the desk stapler and stapled
the tie to his chest. He had no trouble with
discipline that term.
