Most of these children were mentally normal and physically capable. They had been well-educated, with the commonality of having been abandoned by their families from a young age, or having lost their parents for various reasons. They were all adopted by the benevolent Jack Adams, given a home, and a complete childhood. Thus, they were lucky in their own way.
"Class dismissed." Jack Adams tidied the books on the desk, his voice soft, a warm smile on his slightly wrinkled face.
The children also began to tidy up their desks, not making loud noises, because they all felt that class was a process of learning, a rare and interesting experience that they needed to cherish.
The children at the welfare home were well educated by Jack Adams. They did not think that the end of class was something to cheer about, only slackers would think that way.
"Headmaster, can we go down and play ball?" A six-year-old boy holding a basketball came to Jack Adams, who was about to leave the classroom, and asked him with great expectation.
Before the headmaster could answer, ten-year-old Green came over. She sensibly said, "Pam, didn't the headmaster say that we can't play ball recently? The young lady just woke up this morning and needs to rest because she is weak."
"But she woke up, didn't she? We've been so quiet for so many days, maybe if we make some noise, she'll wake up even more."
Sensible Green was left speechless, "You..."
However, Jack Adams had a kindly smile on his face, he patted the heads of the girl and boy, saying, "It's fine, go ahead, just keep it down."
"Okay! Thank you, headmaster!" Young Pam, a head shorter than Green, made a cute face at Green.
Green also smiled as she watched his small figure leave with the ball.
Nine-year-old boy Jun passed by her, patting her shoulder on the way, "Green, let's go! Let's go play ball!"
"I'm coming too!" At this time, Mino got up and ran towards the door, "Jun, wait for me!"
