Example:
Me and my friends learned that geocaches can be in the most unexpected places like a magnet upside down under a bench posing as a bolt. It took us 30 minutes to solve the geocache because it was our first time. When we got to the location and started searching for the geocache we were full of alacrity, but after 28 minutes we couldn't find it and we searched every where we could think of like in the trees, in the, park, on the ground, in the tiny pond, and in the grass. We decided to take a break on a bench when it finally happened one of my friends noticed that one of the bolt on the bottom right of the bench was unusually large. She took a closer look and saw a geocache symbol on it. She had found the geocache under a bench! We also found the log under the bench and signed it. When we finished we put the log and the "bolt" back and went onto the next geocache. We were very excited about the fact that we had just solved and found our first geocache.

<span>Spare the rod and spoil the child."—Ichabod Crane’s scholars certainly were not spoiled.
I would not have it imagined, however, that he was one of those cruel potentates of the school, who joy in the smart of their subjects; on the contrary, he administered justice with discrimination rather than severity; taking the burden off the backs of the weak, and laying it on those of the strong. Your mere puny stripling, that winced at the least flourish of the rod, was passed by with indulgence; but the claims of justice were satisfied by inflicting a double portion on some little, tough, wrong-headed, broad-skirted Dutch urchin, who sulked and swelled and grew dogged and sullen beneath the birch. All this he called "doing his duty by their parents;" and he never inflicted a chastisement without following it by the assurance, so consolatory to the smarting urchin, that "he would remember it, and thank him for it the longest day he had to live."
