It was not John’s fault.
He got up very early in the morning and ready for school.
But unfortunately he could never be on time, incredible happening always prevented him.
Did his teacher believe his story?
Of course, not.
John had to write sentences like “I must not tell lies. I must not lose my gloves.” for 300 times.
Then one day finally John was able to be on time. Nothing happened to John but something was happenning to his teacher.
What did John do?

心にのこるのは
the road to school
ではなく
John Patrick Norman McHennessy set off along the road to learn.
John Patrick Norman McHennessy hurrie off along the road to learn.
という表現であるところ。
なにかつよい意志のようなものを感じるのだけれど。ちがうかな？
