plastic purse
by kevin henkes
lily loved school
she loved the pointy pencils she loved
the squeaky chalk
and she loved the way her boots went
clickety clickety click
down the long shiny hallways
lily loved the privacy of her very own
desk she loved the fish sticks and
chocolate milk
every friday in the lunch room straws
make everything taste better
and most of all she loved her teacher
mr slinger for you
[Music]
mr slinger was as sharp as a tack
he wore artistic shirts he wore
glasses on a chain around his neck
and he wore a different colored tie
for every day of the week
wow said lily that was just about
all she could say wow
instead of greeting students or
good morning pupils mr slinger
winked and said howdy
he thought that desks in a row were
old-fashioned
and boring do you rodents think you can
handle
a semi-circle and he always provided the
most
tasty snacks things that were curly
and crunchy and cheesy
i want to be a teacher when i grow up
said lily me too said her friends
chester and wilson and victor
at home lily pretended to be mr slinger
i am the teacher she told her baby
brother julius
listen up lily even wanted her own set
of deluxe
picture encyclopedias teachers
know everything what's with
lily asked her mother i thought she
wanted to be a surgeon
or an ambulance driver or a diva said
her father
it must be her new teacher mr slinger
said her mother wow said her father
that was just about all he could say
wow whenever the students had free time
they were permitted to go to the light
bulb lab
in the back of the classroom they
expressed their ideas creatively
through drawing and writing lily
went off she had a lot of ideas
she drew pictures of mr slinger and she
wrote stories about him too
big friendly mr nice man
teacher by me lily
during sharing time lily showed her
creations to the entire class
wow said mr slinger that was just about
all he could say
wow when mr slinger had bus duty
lily stood in line even though she
didn't ride the bus
lily raised her hand more than anyone
else in the class
even if she didn't know the answer go on
me please
please she volunteered to stay after
school
to clap the erasers i want to be
a teacher when i grow up said lily
excellent choice said mr slinger
one monday morning lily came to school
especially happy she had gone shopping
with a grammy
over the weekend lily had a new pair of
movie star sunglasses complete with
glittery diamonds
and a chain just like mr slinger's
she had three shiny quarters and best of
all
she had a brand new purple
plastic purse that played a jointy tune
whenever it was opened
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
lily wanted to show everyone not now
said mr slinger listen to our story
lily had a hard time listening lily
really wanted to show everyone
not now said mr slinger let's be
considerate of our classmates
lily had a hard time being considerate
lily really really wanted to show
everyone not now said mr slinger
wait until recess or sharing time
but lily could not wait
she's in trouble
the glasses were so glittery
the quarters were so shiny and the purse
played such nice music not to mention
how excellent it was for storing school
supplies
[Applause]
look lily whispered fiercely look
everyone look what i've got
everyone looked including mr slinger
he was not amused
i'll just keep your things at my desk
until the end of the day
said mr slinger they'll be safe there
then you can take them home
lily's stomach lurched
she felt like crying her glasses were
gone
her quarters were gone her purple
plastic purse was gone
lily longed for her purse all morning
she was even too sad to eat the snack mr
slinger served before
recess oh that afternoon
lily went to the light bulb lab she was
still
very sad she thought as she thought
as she thought and she became
very angry she thought and she thought
and she thought some more and then
she became furious
she thought and she thought and she
thought a bit longer
and then she drew a picture of mr
slinger
right before the last bell rang lily
sneaked
the drawing into mr slinger's book bag
big fat mean mr stealing
teacher wanted by the fbi
thief bad p.s
i do not want to be a teacher when i
grow up
when all the students were buttoned and
zipped
and snapped and tied and ready to go
home
mr slinger strolled over to lily and
gave her
her purple plastic purse back
it's a beautiful purse said mr slinger
your quarters are nice and jingly and
those glasses are
absolutely fabulous you may bring them
back to school
as long as you don't disturb the rest of
the class
i do not want to be a teacher when i
grow up
lily said and she marched out of the
classroom
on the way home lily opened her purse
where glasses and quarters were inside
and so was a note from mr slinger
it said today was a difficult day
tomorrow will be better there was
also a small bag of tasty snacks
at the bottom of the purse lily's
stomach
lurched she felt like crying
she felt simply awful
lily ran all the way home and told her
mother and father
everything instead of watching her
favorite cartoons
lily decided to sit in the uncooperative
chair
i will stay here a million years for mr
slinger
why does everything always happen to me
1051 1052
1099
that night lily drew a new picture of mr
slinger
and wrote a story about him too
lily was really really
sorry so everyone forgave her
even her parents even her
stinky baby brother even
her especially incredible
teacher and then the sun shined
its smiley face down on everyone and
everything even the bugs and the worms
the end listen up
i forgive everyone kind
good nice could be principal
i am really really really really really
really really really really really
sorry i'm an author
lily's mother wrote a note uh what does
it say
and lily's father baked some tasty
snacks for lily to bring to school the
next day
how could he resist my no-frills cheese
ba*ls
i think mr slinger will understand said
lily's mother
i know he will said lily's father
the next morning lily got to school
early
these are for you said lily to mr
slinger
because i'm really really really really
really really really
really really sorry
mr slinger read the story
[Music]
and he looked at the picture
and then he read the note what does it
say
and he sampled the snacks
wow said mr slinger that was just about
all he could say
wow what do you think we should
do with this asked mr slinger
um could we just throw it away
asked lily excellent idea said mr
slinger
during sharing time lily demonstrated
the many uses
and unique qualities of her purple
plastic purse
her shiny quarters and her glittery
movie star sunglasses it's like
having an extra pocket with a radio
inside uh three-quarters
are even better than a dollar because
they make more noise
glamorous protection from harmful rays
then she did a little performance using
them
as props it's called
interpretive dance said lily
mr slinger joined in
wow said the entire class that was just
about all they could say
wow throughout the rest of the day
lily's purse and quarters and sunglasses
were tucked safely inside her desk
she peeked at them often but did not
disturb a soul
right before the last bell mr slinger
served lily's snacks to everyone's
delight
okay for mr slinger delish
wow goodies what do you want to be
when you grow up asked mr slinger
a teacher everyone responded
lily's response was the loudest
excellent choice said mr slinger
as the pupils filed out of the classroom
lily held her purple plastic purse
close to her heart mr slinger was right
it had been a better day
lily ran and skipped
and hopped and flew all the way home
she was so happy
[Music]
she really did want to be a teacher when
she grew up
that is when she didn't want to be a
dancer or a surgeon or an ambulance
driver
or a diva or a pilot
[Music]
