Tale of Glass Balls.

Glass, crystal-like balls for children are the same as gold bars or diamonds for adults. Winning even one gold bar or diamond is good luck and joy, but in the life of one little boy an absolute miracle happened — the stars aligned so incredibly that he won all the balls from all his classmates at recess. At that moment, when the last glass ball became his, he became not just a rich man, but the owner of the untold wealth of the whole world. Try to imagine how you would feel if this happened in your life?
And all you need now is to take your wealth, take it with you, so that later you can use it and enjoy it. And when you start stuffing your riches into your pockets, a whistle is heard from one half-wit, your teacher: he calls you to the ranks, and you can’t argue with him especially. You start to hurry, scratch your hands on these jewels, but it is at this moment, at this moment that you realize that you can’t pick it up right away — everything physically doesn’t fit into your hands or pockets. Imagine again: you take wads of money, you bathe in this money, but you understand that it no longer fits in your cart and you will have to throw it here, leave it … You fill your pockets with precious balls, and they fall out of your pockets over and over again: it’s just awful. The teacher whistles you and urges you. You are in despair, and at this time, bending crookedly, he approaches you and, in front of everyone, takes you by the ear, picks you out of the ground and forces you to go into line: he doesn’t give a damn about the fact that you leave half your wealth. They lead you, or rather humiliatingly drag you by the ear, bending you to the ground, and suddenly at this time your pocket can’t stand it and all your treasures that you owned just a second ago pour out onto the ground in a stream. You lose everything and, under the hooting of those who are now laughing at you, from a rich man, the owner of innumerable treasures, in an instant you turn into a humiliated beggar … These are the experiences that fell to the lot of a little boy.
This is a fairytale. Dramatic fairy tale. A story that dramatizes events. But the same events can be told without dramatization, in the mode of reporting on reality.
Reporting on reality
A child of about 10 years of age lies on a hard surface, leaning on his elbow. This is not very convenient for him, one shoulder is tense, perhaps already numb. The elbow is likely to be stained. The boy clicks the glass ball into the hole, the ball is heavy, with a click on the nail there is a painful sensation. The ball fell into the hole, the boy rises sharply and yells loudly with his arms raised: he has a sharp exhalation, good breathing exercises … while closing his eyes, he does not see anything, it looks like a child’s orgasm. It is usually useful to yell, he yells. After that, the boy began to quickly put the balls into his pockets: dusty balls make his pockets dirty and pull away, his mobility decreases. You can see from the expressions on the faces of the other boys that his relationship with the other kids has deteriorated: his friends are pouting, and they show it convincingly. The teacher whistles for the class to line up. Whistling, as a kind of tension, is rather useful for blood vessels. The boy was seduced by the whistle of the teacher, got up, but then decided to finish collecting the balls and began to do it more energetically. Perhaps, with such sharp movements, he can scratch the skin of the fingers around the nails. The teacher sees that the student does not listen to him, is indignant or pretends to be indignant. From an unsuccessful whistle, it can be assumed that he is also confused. The teacher goes to the boy, bending his body, adapting himself to the intended action in advance: he takes him by the ear and pulls him up, then in the direction of the line. For a boy, this is a slight pain and ear massage, which improves blood circulation and intellectual activity. On the way to peers, the pocket is torn, the balls are scattered. Effects:
- decrease in severity and increase in lost mobility.
- A necessity for mom to sew up a pocket. Additional chores are small — 10 minutes,
- improvement in peer attitude towards the boy.
