A UNUSUAL HOBBY
The class teacher encouraged all her pupils to have a hobby and sometimes arranged for their parents to come and see the work that children had done as a result.
One Friday morning the teacher told the class that those pupils who had made something could have a holiday that afternoon to get everything ready for their parents to see the next day. But they should return to school before five o´clock to bring what they were going to show and to arrange it. When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. He was the laziest boy in the class, and the teacher didn´t believe that he had a hobby. However, at a quarter to five Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of butterflies in glass cases. After his teacher had admired them and helped him to arrange them on a table she was surprised to see Tommy pick them up again and begin to leave.
"What are you doing, Tommy ?" - (asked the teacher) "Those things must remain here until tomorrow, when the parents are coming to see them."
"I will bring them back tomorrou; my big brother doesn´t want them to be out of our house at night." ( said Tommy).
"But what has it got to do with your big brother ?" (asked the teacher) "Aren´t the butterflies yours ?"
"No", (answered Tommy) "They belong to him."
"But, Tommy, you should show your own hobby here, not somebody else´s !" (exclaimed the teacher).
"I know that", (answered Tommy). "My hobby is watching my brother collecting butterflies."
