Lessons

Clara at the age of 15 taught some rowdy boys.Once  these boys were picking on some children younger than them. Clara first went out and broke up the fight. Then she went and got a jug of cider, of course all the children were shocked that the teacher would praise them for being mean to younger children. Clara then told them that she wanted to shake their hands, Clara using her strong grip squeezed their hands as hard as she could. Of course those boys learned the lesson that you get what you give.
