- John and Jerry were running down the hall. They knew it was against the school rules. Mrs. May, the principal, stopped them and reprimanded the boys for running in the school.
The room was very small. Karl sat in a chair facing a window. The window had a hole in it to talk through. He was wearing a uniform. When it was evening, the people walked up to the window and ask Karl for something. He would ask them if they wanted one for an adult or a child. They would give him some money and he would give them what they asked for. From where Karl was sitting he could smell the popcorn as it popped. He liked working here.
