Our teacher
Our teacher Steve is a very big man, but Harry, the other teacher that walks
into class with him, is twice as big! That is because Harry is a horse.
Why does Steve take a horse into his classes? He thinks that it will make his
pupils more interested in his science classes. They have to learn how to feed
the horse, take care of it and study how it behaves. The children must also
keep up with their studies in other subjects like English and Math.
When the children finish learning all their subjects they get a big prize a
chance to ride the horse, which is the most fun of all.
Steves experiment is very successful. His pupils enjoy coming to school much
more than they did before, their marks are much better and they remember
what they learn!
