Suddenly, he heard Mr. Kay’s voice summoning him from the open door. “Mr. El, can I see you for a minute?” the principal called out. Mr. El walked into the office and sat down in the big wooden rocking chair that Mr. Kay kept by his desk. Mr. El hoped that he hadn’t done anything too wayward. (固執(zhí)的 )“What’s up?” he asked. Mr. Kay sat back in his chair, took a deep breath, and sighed, “I just got a call from Mrs. Cook. She’s very upset about today’s lunch count in her cafeteria.” “Oh?” Mr. El replied innocently. “It seems that about half of your students refused to have any of her fish sticks with their meats. She thinks you might have said something to them that made that happen.” “Maybe it was the worm thing,” Mr. El said. “She said something about worms.” Mr. Kay responded, “But she was so angry, and I couldn’t quite make it out.” Mr. El looked surprised at her reaction. “I did just happen to mention, as a joke of course, that the fish sticks were really made of groundup earthworms. I explained that they were flavored with fish guts(腸子) , and then fried in motor oil.” “Apparently, a lot of your kids believed it was true.” Mr. Kay stated, “Mr. El, I’ll leave it to you to undo the damage.” “Yes, Sir,” Mr. El promised and started for the door. “And what was that thing about maggots(怪念頭) ?” Mr. Kay asked. “No, wait.
