There is a story told about how Neil set about winning over one particular boy．The boy was always causing trouble and clearly regarded all teachers 36a hostile eye．On one occasion, Neil, out taking a 37 , had just rounded a corner when he came across the boy playing on his own．The boy, not noticing he was no longer 38, picked up a stone and threw it through one of the school windows．Turning, he saw Neil．Instead of finding himself 39at angrily as he expected, the boy was 40 to see Neil bend down, pick up a stone and hurl it at another window．The boy had to 41to get the window repaired, so did Neil． 42he thought this a small price to pay for 43 a bond between himself and the boy, whose 44improved afterwards．

Neil was a remarkable character who knew just when to be 45and just when to adopt a lighter touch when handling children．Not everyone is so 46．Willie Russell, the 47, likes to talk about the time when he had freshly 48from teacher training college and had just begun to work as a teacher．On his first day at the school he was left to do playground duty on his own, rather a（n） 49experience for one so new to the job．Surrounded by children at morning break, he turned to see one of the children throwing a stone at a school window．When the boy saw that he had been 50 by a teacher, his face fell． 51for this boy, Russell remembered the story about Neil．Stooping down he picked up a stone and propelled(投掷) it through another window．Turning to smile proudly at the boy his satisfaction was suddenly shattered by the sound of dozens of windows being 52by flying stones．

Unfortunately he had failed to take into account the difference between his 53and the one which Neil had faced, namely that he and the boy were not alone．It was at this point in his career that Russell decided that perhaps he was not quite cut out to be a teacher．Deciding after this that he was not suited to teaching he left to 54 playwriting．Most of his plays are very imaginative and 55．A bit like this story, in fact．
