“Oh!” said Mr. Tushman, his eyes opening wide. He started laughing. “Really? Huh.
Here I was looking for symbolism and metaphors and, um... sometimes a duck is just a duck!”
“Yeah, I guess,” I said, not quite getting why he thought that was so funny. He laughed to himself for a good thirty seconds.
“Anyway, Auggie, thanks for chatting with me,” he said, finally.
“I just want you to know it’s truly a pleasure having you here at Beecher Prep, and I’m really looking forward to next year.”
He reached across the desk and we shook hands. “See you tomorrow at graduation.” “See you tomorrow, Mr. Tushman.”
The Last Precept
This was written on Mr. Browne’s chalkboard when we walked into English class for the last time:
MR. BROWNE’S JUNE PRECEPT: JUST FOLLOW THE DAY AND REACH FOR THE SUN! (The Polyphonic Spree)
Have a great summer vacation, Class 5B! It’s been a great year and you’ve been a wonderful group of students.
If you remember, please send me a postcard this summer with YOUR personal precept.
It can be something you made up for yourself or something you’ve read somewhere that means something to you.
