A

A primary school teacher who left a class of 25 pupils in tears after she told them Santa Claus did not exist has been fired.When excited youngsters became rowdy as they talked about Santa，the supply teacher said out suddenly，“It's your parents who leave out presents on Christmas Day.”

The class of seven­year­olds at Blackshaw Lane Primary School，Royton，Greater Manchester burst into tears and told their parents when they arrived home.Mothers and fathers then complained about the incident and were sent a letter by the school saying the teacher，who only worked at the school for one day last week，has been disciplined.

The school has now said it will not hire her again.

One father said，“My son came home and said that his teacher had told the class that Santa doesn't exist and it's their mum and dad that put out presents for them.Obviously，they were all talking about Christmas and being a bit rowdy.She just came straight out with it.”

“My son was in tears and so was everyone else in the class—especially as it was so close to Christmas.I thought it was wrong.He was crazy about it.He's only seven years old and it's part of the magic of  Christmas to him.”

“We told him that she did not believe in Father Christmas because of her religion and he's fine now.”

“The father described the incident as ‘shocking’ and believed it was done with malicious intent(恶意地).A lot of parents were angry and complained to the school.The teacher，who was supplied by Rochdale and Oldham Supply Agency，is still listed and will work with other schools，”the agency said.

Picking tomatoes

For as long as I can remember，Grandma's plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer's end.Each September，just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days，Grandma requests my help in her tomato garden.She convinces me she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind.She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking.While Grandma's request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same，her desire for my help seems to increase each year.

Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes.I，however，just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like.I spot what looks like a ripe tomato，head in its direction，and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe.I usually end up watching            Grandma and trying to stay out of her way，which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.

There we are，lost in the tomato vines(藤).Grandma's eyes are always knowing，and they are no different in the vegetable garden.From afar she spots what looks like a ripe tomato.As she walks toward the garden，she evaluates the tomato for a second time，but from a different angle.I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen.However，Grandma acts as if she needs final look to be sure.She calls me to her side，kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face，and grasps the tomato in her hand.She turns each round，red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a half­hearted smile.

She then looks at me.I nod my head and smile.Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection.I know I smile，instead，at her.
