Centre in Central Scotland. It was near the end of the day
and they were in the Gift Shop before boarding the bus for
the journey home.Poor Michael! He couldn't resist the array of lollipops and

about to pay for it with his last few pennies.His teacher, a kindly soul with not long before retirement,
noticed him. "Have you bought something for your Mum yet,
Michael?"Michael low.
