Mrs. Thompson came to the 5th grade class and noticed that Teddy was always alone. Also, he did badly in his studies. When she reviewed Teddy’s past records,she found he was a good child at first,but he began to change when his mother got ill. Finally he lost interest in school after his mother’s death.

Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and felt sorry for him. She felt even worse when her students brought her beautifully-covered Christmas presents. His presents were covered with some old paper. Some children laughed when she found a bracelet(手镯)with some of the stones missing, and a bottle with a little perfume(香水).But she said how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some perfume on her hand. Teddy stayed after school for a long time just to say,“Mrs. Thompson,today you smelled just like my mom used to.” After the child left,she cried for quite a long time.

On that very day, she taught not only knowledge but also children. As she worked with Teddy,his mind seemed to come alive. By the end of the year,Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.
