When he went into class, his teacher said, “Nursery school is down at the end of the hall, honey.”

“I’m Treehorn,” said Treehorn.

“If you’re Treehorn, why are you so small?” asked the teacher.

“Because I’m shrinking,” said Treehorn. “I’m getting smaller.”

“Well, I’ll let it go for today,” said his teacher. “But see that it’s taken care of before tomorrow. We don’t shrink in this class.”

After recess, Treehorn was thirsty, so he went down the hall to the water bubbler. He couldn’t reach it, and he tried to jump up high enough. He still couldn’t get a drink, but he kept jumping up and down, trying.

His teacher walked by. “Why, Treehorn,” she said.

“That isn’t like you, jumping up and down in the hall.

Just because you’re shrinking, it does not mean you have special privileges. What if all the children in the school started jumping up and down in the halls? I’m afraid you’ll have to go to the Principal’s office, Treehorn.”

So Treehorn went to the Principal’s Office.
