“Yes, sir,” he said, standing up very straight and looking the teacher in the eye.

“This boy is a fast learner,” said the sensei. “That’s good.”

“Let’s give it a try,” suggested Mr. Morris. “Can we sign up for a limited trial period? Say two or three months?”

“A good plan,” the teacher agreed. “Come,” he directed Monty. He walked over to a cabinet and opened it. He measured Monty with his eyes and then pulled out a white karate outfit of cotton pants and a matching jacket. Next he handed Monty a white belt.

“You will start with this belt,” he told Monty.

“Yes, sir,” Monty responded to the sensei.

Afterward, at home, Monty said to his parents, “I don’t care if I don’t have a yellow belt like Arlene and Ilene. White is my favorite color.”

“It is?” asked his mother. “That’s news to me.”

“Sure,” said Monty. “White is the color of snow. And it’s the color of vanilla ice cream, and mashed potatoes, and marshmallows. Those are all great things. I love white.”

Monty’s father smiled at his son. “Yes, sir.”
