INSIDE THE CANTEEN

by Jean Paul V. Banay

It was 9:30 in the morning at Labuin Elementary School. It was already break time for
Grade V-Coral. Children line up in a queue to go the canteen to have their recess.
 At the canteen, the children lined up in a queue waiting for their turn to buy their
food. Luke, a Grade 3 pupil rushed in front of the queue and shouted at the canteen manager
for food.
Calmly, the canteen manager said to Luke “Luke, it is not nice to shout at people,
especially when you’re at the canteen. And we should observe the rules inside the canteen.
Look at these children, they line up in a queue and wait for their turn. You should do the
same.” said the canteen manager.
After that day, Luke lined up in the queue and asked politely for food.
