A teacher at a school for blind kids is taking his school's
soccer
team to an "away game". They stop for a rest break, and to let
the
kids work off some energy with a little impromptu practice in
a
nearby pasture. The teacher is sitting in a nearby diner,
explaining
to another patron how it is that blind kids can play soccer.
"We made a special ball, with a bell in it, so the kids can
keep
track of where the ball is and what it's doing by listening for
it.
They're pretty good at it too."
"Very clever!" remarks the other patron.
Just then they are interrupted as another patron, who is looking
out
the window, says, "Hey! Are you the guy with those damn blind
kids
from the bus?"
"Yes," says the teacher, stung by the way "his" kids are
being
refered to, "what about it? You got something against blind
kids?"
"Nothing, ordinarily," says the guy, still scowling out the
window,
"but you better get them rounded up quick! They're kicking the
hell
out of my best milk cow!"
