Boys around thirteen years were often tempted to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or close by his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing had been useful. He had gone to report it to the headmaster, but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys when they threw stones. He had even picked up all the stones around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw, but they soon found others.At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice. It was made of good, strong wood. It was some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After that, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble: The boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.33.
