40、f smoking. He said he wouldnt go on for too long, and we saw him take his wrest-watch off and lay it on the table. I cant remember what he said about smoking, because Bob and I had other things to think about. He fin ished when the bell rang for play-time, and the headmaster told us to go out.In the
41、 playground Bob showed me the watch. He put it on his wrist, and it looked love ly. I wished I had been the one to sit by the table. It was really a beautiful watch, gold by the look of it. The headmaster came outside then, and the doctor was with him. They walked about, looking around and talking a
42、ll the time. After a while the bell rang, and we got into our lines, ready to go in.The headmaster said, “Ive got a little job for boys.

Bob told me later the old man hadnt even said “Thank you“ for the watch.The thing that puzzled us m
46、ost of all was that Bob didnt get any reward. When he mentioned to the headmaster about k, the old man said, “Ah, yes, we mustnt forget that.
