'7 BILL SMILEY
THERE'S. A M
Once .in a while, it is the good
fortune of an , English teacher to
come across •a . fresh, •original,
piece of writing by. a', .student:-
" . 'When . he does, it's a drink of
cold, pure water .. after' days' of
wandering • in : the desert of man-
gled 'syntax, crucified spelling,'
howling 'triteness . and . , tortured
thinking : through which . it ' ` has
been ordained that he 'should.plod.,
It happened to me' this week.
Al first, I thought my judr1*•.
meet might be ' • prejudiced, .be-
cause
be -cause . I was quite . fond 'of the
youngster • in. question. 1 read it
again.? •‘It still sounded good.
,To make sure, I had .it . mim-
eographed and; tried it ,:.on 'My
• Grade 13 students, as a: piece for.
critical analysis; Their snorts and.
gigles confirmed my fist impres-
•sion. Then , we 'discussed : it in.
depth They could
find little
'wrongwith it. It had urti e co-
herence and emphasis. Thtone
Was consistent. Well, here it is,
just as it was written, on an ex
ORAL IN IT'
amination, under stress See what
you think.
*.
The title' was: The .Wanderings
of a Ten -Dollar Bill, :..
"My' '' mother. was extremely -
large 'and could make only • loud,
Whirring sounds in her throat.
The thing •that puzzles me is how
I turned out so thin ,when she is
such • a fatso;.
"Anyway, when: 'I popped .out
feeling like :;a " wet piece. of . cab-
bage, a. long, dark. man with .a.
black, mole .beneath his left eye.
clutched me and cried., : 'Oh, dar-
ling George.': He and the rest of
the boys kissed me all over, ,' even
on .the Queen's head I..:was later
to ,discover that I had. the honor
of ,• being the first bill: in an 'evil
batch • of counterfeit money. I was
would set /the lo
the 'one who l �' t
in plot
motion , .
"First 'of. all r was : given to
an unsuspecting, old ladyr fo r a
packet of cigarettes. The decre-
pit . old woman hesitantly. handed.
them the change, , all In. 'nickels.
They then turned andscampered
out, leaving me to face the con
-,seq e_n. s It turned out that the
old lady Was-trifle—goo_iy.
"One. fine ;day she 'traded me
for pennies, au 'pennies. I was.
pushed wildly We the buyer's
pocket, where. I met a girl ten
dollar bill. It was so cosy and
dark in there that I . have to. ath
mit I •was a little fresh.,
•
"Suddenly'I was jostled out nd
traded for more cigarettes. ' The
store 'owner grabbednme and.'yell:
ed, 'The Queen. doesn't have that
many bumps : on her ' nose.' The
trail ' was hot. ,
"Well,; MY? boys were •found.
Unfortunately, they had, already
died from , lung ,cancer'. because
they had smoked so many cigar-
ettes when' getting bilis in motion..
"I 'write this while 'sitting am-
idst coals: in a large furnace. The
penetrating heatis beginning to
stifle rine; My breath is :,coming
shorter, the happy hunting grounds
are coming nearer. . '
"But the moral •of ,,my story
is,. 9f ' you're going to: produce
counterfeit ,money,, make only one
bump on the .Queen's 'nose . and
always buy gum, not ctgarettes'"
•The, above` essay was: written,
,by my ,daughter, Kim, age ` 12,
Grade ,.8. A chip : offs the 'old crock? -
I'm only surprised . that, her sec-
ond last sentence. didn't say, "My
breath is, . coming in short . pants."
