The Juvenile Rebellion

And now, a tale well calculated to keep you in, suspense. It is a wise father that knows his own child. Listen now to The Juvenile Rebellion, starring Jimsy Summers and Court Benson, and written especially for suspense by Robert Sennadella.

Have only three weeks to get a whole book report into you? Three weeks is pretty a time, Mary. Gosh, I don't think so, Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller? I mean, we've got to read a whole book and then think about it and then write a book report.

That's Little Mary Newhall, one of my students. My name is Ethan Miller and I teach English in the junior high school in Tewkesbury. You've gathered that Mary Newhall wasn't my very best student. She was a C plus student, sometimes a B minus student.

And until the day when she stopped at my desk after school to complain about the book report I had assigned, I had no reason to feel that her IQ was any higher than the 110 that the school testing service found it out to be.

She certainly didn't sound like any genius. You mean Mr. Miller, that's not a lot of work? I mean, how short can the book be? I mean, can I report on the man without a country?

That is not a book, Mary. It's a short story. You'll report on a book. Well, she wins. I don't want to hear any more about it. Well, you're right then, Mr. Miller. But gosh, all the teachers give us so much work.

Wait a minute. Mary! Mary! Did you leave this notebook here? Mary! Actually, I wasn't sure that the notebook I discovered there on my desk belonged to Mary, so I looked into it. At first I thought it couldn't be Little Mary's property because it was full of names and addresses in our own country, Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa.
