18.The other day in school we were discussing jobs.Our teacher,Mrs.Bolt,said that vocations were very important and that it was never too early to think about your life's work.Most of the children really weren't too sure about what they wanted to be.But I knew exactly what I wanted to be,and when Mrs.Bolt asked me,I replied"A truck driver."
"A truck driver,"repeated Mrs.Bolt."Why do you want to be a truck driver,Kenneth?"
"Because truck drivers are always on the move.They don't have to sit at desks all day.They're out on the road and they see a lot of the country.The pay is good,too.And you never have any homework."
The class laughed.
"Well,Kenneth,"answered Mrs.Bolt."You certainly sound enthusiastic.I guessed that you don't like sitting at a desk or doing homework.Is that correct,Kenneth?"
"Yes,I guess so,"I said.
"Well,since you are so interested in becoming a truck driver,I think you should investigate the field a little further.I want you to go to the library and take out a book on truck driving.And I want you to write a book report on it and hand it at the end of the month."
"That's the last time I'll ever tell anybody my secret ambition!"
