The artful pupil and the hypochondriac teacher

There was one teacher with very nasty character, nearly every day banged the pupils. Boys with each other began to arrange:

- Well, absolutely unbearable! Let's think up any means to get rid of this misfortune.

Among pupils one was more senior, he and said:

- If you agree that I will tell we will think up something.

- As you will tell, so we and will make, - boys have answered unanimously.

- Then we will arrive so, - he declared. - tomorrow we will come on a lesson, and everyone will tell to the teacher: "Hi, the teacher! What you so look bad, about the teacher? Perhaps you are unhealthy or there is any other reason?" More speak nothing.

Next day pupils have gone in медресе *, and everyone spoke to the teacher:

- Kind to you of health, the teacher! Whether well you feel yourself, about the teacher? You look bad today, respectable.

- No, no! I am absolutely healthy! - the teacher answered.

But in its heart the doubt has crept in.

After all the senior from pupils has come. It has respectfully opened the book before the teacher, but then suddenly has quickly cleaned it. The teacher also asks:

- Why you have cleaned the book?

- The mister! - the boy has sighed. - often you see, that everyone cares only of the well-being, not to find in anybody neither justice, nor sympathy. But I see, about the teacher, you so are sick! When I look at your exhausted, yellow person, my heart is compressed with pity. After all, except you, there can not be at me other teacher! Here when you will get rid from хвори then I and will renew the ученье.

The teacher has risen and in terrible confusion has gone home. Has shouted to the wife:

- Open a door!

That with pleasure left, has opened a door, looks, there is a husband upset, pale.

- Why you so have soon returned from медресе? - The wife was surprised.

- You that, blind? - The teacher has begun to yell. - really you do not see, what becomes with your husband? Another's people and that sympathise. And you... Really you malicious, stale. You sit to yourself at home, never and you will not think to ask me about health.

- Pardon, in my opinion, you are quite healthy, - the wife has become puzzled.

- About the malicious woman! - the teacher has exclaimed. - you still scoff... But do not rejoice to my grief!

- Постой, - the wife speaks, - now I will bring to you a mirror, look itself at the person. You are quite healthy! What for in vain you exhaust yourself?

- Fail you and drat your mirror! - the teacher was boiled. - what you, such at you and a mirror! It is not necessary for me of a mirror, I in it will not be looked. Go prepare for me bed somewhat quicker is better, I will lay down.

There is a wife, is surprised. And he still is more angry and shouts:

- There is nothing to look at me, go and prepare for the husband bed!

The wife has laid bed for the husband and has put before it a rug. The teacher has settled and ordered to transfer to pupils: "we will be engaged Today not in медресе, and at my place".

Boys were afflicted.

- Both was, and remains, - speak. - has changed nothing, we and were not released from bondage. Other cunning, differently not to get rid is necessary to us from this malicious person.

- Let's make so, - the senior pupil has offered. - as the lesson will begin, rustle more loudly.

They have lifted shout, have arranged terrible noise, and the senior pupil has suddenly reproached companions:

- Shameless, what it you have got noisy? Unless do not understand, what from such noise at the teacher the head is ill?

- He speaks the truth, - the teacher admitted. - leave, there is nothing to rustle here.

Boys were delighted, have escaped and long played in the street.

There have passed some days. Mothers of boys were disturbed:

- Unless we are guilty, what the teacher was ill? - Pupils were justified. - with whom to us now to be engaged?

- All right, - have solved women, - tomorrow we will go to the teacher and we learn, how its health. We will find out, whether you speak the truth.

For the next day women have indeed gone to the teacher. Have come to it to the house, look, the teacher lays covered by two or three blankets, its sweat прошиб. The poor creature, and охает Also groans. Women look, heads swing.

- Recover, the teacher, - speak. - that for хворь on you has attacked? We after all at all did not know, that you are sick.

- I and itself did not know, - the teacher has exhaled, - at me and in thoughts was not, that I am absolutely already bad. But in that and a trouble! If to know about illness from the very beginning it would be easier to recover. Thanks you, kind women, will recover only to me difficultly.

Women have left, and the teacher all laid in bed, did not rise. There have passed some more days, and boys have blabbed out, that the teacher was ill because of their cunning. Began mother of pupils to consult:

After all kids the senior pupil has come, has looked at the teacher and has exclaimed:

- The teacher, now at you a kind of the healthy person, but you need to move a little bit! After all when the person recovers, it is bad, if it sits on one place. Now you should rise, leave on street, to take a walk.

The teacher has got up, and the pupil left on street together with it. Passers-by rejoiced:
