The Book Worm
We all know him. He is tho+ person who spends the day in study ha'l with his books open before him, but never rel!ding them. When he is not gazing at the hands of the clock or writing o letter, he is pestering his neighbor.
Occasionally he sings to himself- poorly. H is more industrious neigh- bors stop their work to turn wither- ing glances on him, but to no avail. When he has finished his song, stu- dents nearby hold their breaths, won- dering what ·he will do next. Then he starts again- this time crumpling and crackling paper.
If only he would use for something worthwhile the energy that he wastes bothering the · studious boys near him! When the be'l f~nolly rings, he slams his books together and strolls out into the hall.
Although this student fritters away his entire, precious study time each day, he is invariably the one who whines about "all the work those cheep masters pile on us."
