Marie felt intense hunger as she marked the papers. She took out her snickers. She just had a little time before she got ready for second grade.
“Excuse me, teacher.” She turned at a low voice. It was Mina, one of the shyest girls in first grade.
“Yes, Mina?”
“I didn’t get the fractions you taught today.”
After ten minutes of explanation, Marie was satisfied that Mina had understood.
“Here, take this.” Marie smiled as the girl’s face brightened at the snickers.
Though a little late, her heart was filled with contentment as Marie walked to the second grade.

Beautiful piece! There isn’t much so valuable as a generous teacher.
It is a student’s good luck to get a teacher who would be altruistic and encouraging. Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Rebecca.
I like how the teacher feels energized by her chance to be generous. Her student benefits and grows.
It would be nice if many teachers are selfless. Thank you, Charli.
Some teachers give up their lunch breaks and even their lunches, it’s true.
True. Teachers have the capability to make or break a child’s interest in a subject. Thank you for reading.
