Chapter five:

" We are going to disect frogs" Michelle announced to the class. Their expressions were priceless.Ratburn managed a slight smile of amusement.

" What I am going to do is place a dead frog in front of each of you.;" Michelle started. Passing out the dead frogs to the students. " I wouls suggest that you avoid touching these frogs until we get you some latex gloves. " She finished. And let Ratburn pass out the white latex gloves. While Michelle handed out the tools that were going to be used during this precedure. Inclusing Scalpple( Spelled right? Most likely not. Who cares though?) And little pins too. To pin the belly open to the padded tray she gave them.

" Thank you for your assistance, Nigel." Michelle muttered, standing by Ratburn. He only smiled at her.

Arthur leaned over to Buster and whispered," Have you ever done this to a frog?"

" No. But my dad and I went camping once and we cooked frog. Tasted like chicken." Buster whispered back.

" Okay, " Ratburn started, walking over to the chalk board. And began to write down parts of the frogs body. Before he gor to do anything. Muffy Crosswire had acted too fast and got her first wiff of the insaide of a dead animal and look at the insides.So she went..." BLAHARG!" Right in the tray with her frog.

" Muffy." Ratburn started to the sickly girl," I'll take her to the nurse." He then said to himself with a sigh," I knew this would be a bad idea.

By recess Ratburn had returned from the nurse's office. Michelle was wipping off tables. Ratburn's eyes widened as he looked around his classroom. The chalk board, the table, his desk, scattered frog guts everywhere.

He cleared his throat. When Michelle looked up the bridge of her nose had a chunk of intestine on it.She laughed nervously," Uh...I suppose you are wondering what happened." She mused.

" Something to that, yes." He answered.

"Well...one of the students tossed a frog at her neighbor, and then they tossed a piece of guts back so I decided, screw it. Gut fight."She explained.

"Francine." He mused.

" Yeah, I think thats the one who started it."

" Uh...you are going to clean it up?" He asked.

" Well, yeah. That is what I am doing now."

Ratburn nodded, his expression of disdain had remained on his face. He walked over to his desk." You're mad at me, aren't you?" Michelle asked.

Well, what do you think? You've ruined my classroom. And further more you did not teach them..." He paused and glanced down at a student's paper below him. It had a diagram of a frog with it's anatomy. Written in that student's handwritting was the name of the frog's organs., pointing to their right locations."...you...did teach them..." he mused with more interest in his tongue rather then anger.

" Well, of course I did. Thats why I am training to be a teacher. It was after I taught them the frog's anatomy did we have some fun."

"Michelle...I don;t know what to...you...surprise me." He commented, standing up face to face with Michelle. She smiled at him

" So...I'm not in trouble?"

" No. You got the lesson taught, gave them assignments.Michelle you should be proud."

" Thank you. But I still feel that I need to make it up to you. Would you like to come over tonight for Abby's pre birthday? her father is taking her this weekened and saturday is her real birthday."

" I'd love to Michelle, but..."

" I'll be making a chocolate and vanilla cake." She added slyly.

" Cake?" Ratburn asked with interest." Michelle I'd love to go. What time?"

"Well I'm ordering pizza at six. Id that okay?" Michelle asked. Ratburn only smiled and nodded.
