Bell rang, teacher came
And began calling name;
Mama stood as first student
As name calls down went.
One after another all
Attended the roll call;
At the back, one Alfred
Nor stood, nor responded.
Teacher became furious
And made at him a rush--
So angry and punishing,
But gave him just a warning.
Mama went to the teacher
After the class was over;
With her, Alfred went--
The school's naughty student.
Alfred fell at the teacher's feet,
As Mama stood wishing and quiet;
The teacher knew Mama's wish
And forgave Alfred with advice.
