24.“这就是我想表达的。其实我应该问：’你们喜爱这则故事的程度如何？我很高兴你们喜欢这则故事。现在，伯蒂，让我听听你来讲这个故事。”
25.“我可以讲一头牛、牛奶以及安的故事，安是个挤奶工。”
26.“牛是白色的，安挤了满满一桶奶，”爱尔文讲，“我也喜欢喝牛奶。”
27.“但是你喝不了一桶奶，对吗？”
28.“是的，我喝不了那么多奶，”他笑出了声。
29.“那么你要用这么多奶做什么。”
30.“我会像安那样做，我会做黄油，然后用面包蘸黄油吃。我喜欢面包蘸黄油。你不喜欢吗，赫伯特？而且我喜欢晚饭中有面包蘸牛奶。”
31.“我喜欢午饭来一点，”赫伯特接了一句。
32.就在这时，妈妈轻轻地推开门，走了进来，来看看这个家中的学校。
33“.
哦，妈妈！晚饭我可以吃面包蘸牛奶吗？”爱尔文问妈妈。
34.爱尔文还小，他不知道上课不能说话，因此“老师”说：“爱尔文，你现在是在上课，不能这样与来访者说话。”
35.“我忘了我是在上课了。这有点不像大课堂，我更喜欢这个课堂。”
36.“你还想起其他的了吗？”
37.“让我想想--哦，是的！你讲到丹尼尔叔叔有个大院子，院子里都是牛！他把牛奶装到很多大木桶里，然后做成奶酪。”
38.“我很想拜访一下丹尼尔叔叔，看看他怎么做奶酪。他住哪儿？在密歇根吗？”赫伯特问。
39.“妈妈，”小老师说，“我们有故事里描述的这样的叔叔吗？”
40.“有，孩子们。丹尼尔叔叔是你们父亲的弟弟，他住的地方离这里很远，在纽约州。他拥有一家很大的奶酪制品厂。”
41.“谢谢妈妈，我不知道这竟然是一则讲述我们亲叔叔的真实故事，我还以为这是编的呢。”亚瑟对妈妈说，他几乎忘了他现在是老师了。
42.说完他又转身对赫伯特和爱尔文说：“同学们，我知道你们已经把这个故事牢牢地记在心里了，通过阅读你们可以学到很多啊！通过阅读我们可以学到几乎所有的事情。
43.”有许多事情我们想知道，却又不能从其他渠道了解到，这就是我们需要阅读的原因。“44.”亚瑟，说得很好。我认为你们老师说得非常对，你确实是个好老师。“妈妈评价道。
