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.

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.

“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.”
