He was the head teacher of a school for boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart , because when I was young（and he was old ）, he gave me presents , set me on his knee , and told me stories . But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him. At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys there was silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, that boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work that was not the best that he could do, my grandfather would pick up the boy’s book and threw it across the room, shouting, “Do it again and bring it back first in the morning.” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring his work, he had to do it again, and again and yet again. My grandfather never forgot. He was a very different man at school from the man I saw day by day in his own home. (209 words) 56. I knew my grandfather was kind and gentle, because _________.
