new students’ names. It was kiddies’ group since they were about 9 and 10 years old.

cuddly toys in my box
And that was what I did. I walked through the door happily. The director watched me
completely astonished. I smiled and looked straight at her. With a man beside her, she said, “ Good
afternoon. I’d like to introduce you to Mr. Mendez, the director of Delta company. He is one of the
