The case of a common misdemeanor.

Ethan, a young schoolteacher, stood next to an elderly gentleman at the bus terminal. He recognized the man, greeted him & said,

“Good day, Mr. Lewis; Sir, do you remember me?”

The older gentleman looked at him but could not remember. Then the young man tells him he was his student in the 7th grade. And the retired teacher asks:

“What do you do in life?”

The young man answers:

“Well, I became a teacher.”

“Ah! how good, like me?” Asks Mr. Lewis.

“Well, yes. I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you.”

Mr. Lewis asks Ethan, “Pray, how did I inspire you? Then Ethan tells him the following story:

“One day, a friend of mine, a student, came in with a nice new watch, and I decided I wanted it.

I watched my friend wash his hands & put his watch in his pocket.

I stole it; I took it out of his pocket.

Shortly after, my friend missed his watch. He immediately complained to our teacher, who was you, Mr. Lewis.
