Mark liked talking. I had to  36 him that talking in class was not acceptable. 37  impressed me was that he responded with such sincerity. “Thank you for correcting me, Sister!” I didn’t know what to make of it at 38  , but soon I got used to 39  it many times a day.

One morning my  40   was growing thin when Mark talked once again. I said, “If you say one more word, I’ll tape your mouth  41  !”

It wasn’t ten seconds  42  when one boy shouted, “Mark is talking again.” I had to keep my  43  . I took out some tape from my desk and covered it 44  Mark’s mouth. Later as I walked back to remove the tape, his first words were “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.”

One afternoon, the students got noisy and started to call each other 45 .

I had to do 46 . I asked each student to prepare 34 small pieces of paper, saying they should write the name of a classmate on each piece and, under that, say something 47  about the person. Then I collected the slips of paper and gave them  48  later. Everyone smiled. Their classmates had  49  such nice things about them!

Nobody ever mentioned the paper again. I never knew if they discussed them after class, but it didn’t matter. The students were  50  with themselves.

Several years later, after I had returned  51  a vacation, my parents met me at the airport. On our way back, my father  52  his throat, as he usually did before saying something  53 .

“The Eklunds called yesterday,” he began. “Really?” I said. “I haven’t heard from them in years. I 54  how Mark is.” Dad responded quietly. “Mark was killed in Vietnam,” he said. “The funeral is tomorrow .”

At the funeral Mark’s father came up and took some slips of paper from his wallet to show me. I knew the slips were the ones on which Mark’s classmates had listed all the nice things about him.

“Thank you so much,” Mark’s mother said. “  55 you can see, Mark treasured those pieces of paper.”
