A butcher watching over his shop was really surprised when he saw a dog coming inside the shop. He went over to the dog and noticed it had a note in its mouth. He took the note and it read “Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please. The dog has money in his mouth, as well.”
The butcher looked carefully and was surprised to find that there was really a ten-dollar note there. So he took the money and put the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog’s mouth. The butcher was so impressed, and since it was about closing time, he decided to shut up shop and follow the dog.
So off he went. He followed the dog to a bus stop. The dog stopped and started looking at the timetable. The dog checked out the time, and then sat on one of the seats provided. Along came a bus. The dog walked around to the front, looked at the number, and went back to its seat. Another bus came. Again the dog went around to the front, looked at the number and climbed on. The butcher, by now, open-mouthed, followed it onto the bus.
The bus traveled through the town and out into the suburbs. Eventually the dog got up, and moved to the front of the bus. It stood on two back paws and pushed the button to stop the bus. Then it got off with groceries still in its mouth.
Well, the dog and the butcher were walking along the road, and then the dog turned into a house. It walked up the path, and dropped the groceries on the step. Then it walked back down the path, took a big run, and threw itself against the door. Then again, it threw himself against it. There’s no answer at the house. so the dog waited at the door.
The butcher watched as a big guy opened the door, and started shouting at it. The butcher ran up, and stopped the guy. “Why do you shout at the dog? It is really a genius.” The guy responded, “You call this clever? This is the second time this week that this stupid dog’s forgotten its key.”

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this  16 .

One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and  17 . All the students were working  18  a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no  19  of stopping. I walked down the row and found  20  was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do. ks5u

By this time the activity aroused my  21 , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on  22  I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” …… I felt it best not to  23 .

After another ten minutes, the students were  24  to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoe box. Then Donna  25  hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door.  Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to  26 . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the  27  of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and  28  your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.

Donna delivered the eulogy （悼词）. “Friends, we gathered here today to  29  the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is  30  by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in  31 . Amen!”

She turned the students  32  and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the  33  of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student  34  and said, “I Can’t,” Donna  35  pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.
