In a small village up on a hill there lived a little girl named Hope. She always wanted to go to school but her parents told her she couldn't because they all worked in the fields. One day she left from home and realized all the cool things that she has missed while being at home so she decided to run away, and never go back. Then she stopped and saw a lot of children playing with a ball. The children looked at her differently because she wore dirty clothes and had bare feet. They wondered where she came from and laughed at her. A kind woman noticed the situation and walked over to Hope. The lady took a tissue from her purse and gently wiped the dirt from Hope's face. She had extra pair of sandals in her purse as well, and gave them to Hope. Hope smiled as she slipped them on. Hope asked the lady who she was and the lady said she was a teacher at the local school. Hope smiled and told her she always wanted to go to school but her parents couldn't take her because they worked in the fields all day. Hope's parents found her talking to the teacher. Hope's parents scolded her for talking to a stranger and the the teacher introduced herself to them. The parents told the teacher that Hope could not go to school because they work in the fields. The teacher told them she could help them by taking Hope to school and drop her off as well. Hope was happy and her parents saw her smiling so they said okay.
20 years later Hope became a teacher.
