I am the blackboard in Class 1A. Everyday, teachers write a lot of things on my body. But today was a special day.
In the morning, I leaned on the wall as usual. I was ready for the beginning of the day. But unusually, only some of the 1A students put their school bags near their seat and no one was in the classroom. Also, I heard a lot of people shouting and talking outside. It was very noisy. The noise was deafening.
After some time, I also heard the voice of the principal and the chairman of the Parent-Teacher Association, Mr. Lok. I wondered what they were doing.
When I was thinking about that, I saw some 1A students and the class teacher, Miss Cheng, coming into the classroom. They were all wearing casual clothes, and no more uniform!
After that, they took out their towels from their school bags. Some were going to sweep the floor. Some were moving tables and chairs. Some were washing the windows. Some were also washing me! But it made me feel uncomfortable because I don't like being wet.
When they were cleaning, some teachers and parents took some photos for them. Also, it seemed that the parents needed to give marks to their cleaning work.
After they mopped the floor, they didn't come into the classroom anymore. I became alone again. I felt very lonely because my body was without their writing or drawing on that day.
This day was really special because nobody wrote or drew on my body but they washed my body. Although I don't like being wet, I still feel happy because they washed my body finally!
