The Nutcracker In School: The Nutcracker In The School

The Nutcracker In The School The science teacher sits at his desk. The nutcrackers scratchy wooden eye gazes into the empty dark classroom. “One day Larry, you will become alive”. The science teacher began to tap his fingers on the desk while ideas races through his mind. The teacher decides to go home and test his theories about making the nutcracker come to life. After multiple tests the nutcracker began to flash, it was like he was looking directly into the sun. “I can finally show these students that I can make things come to life!” exclaimed the teacher. The nutcracker gave him a look as if he was lost. “Hello” said the teacher. The nutcracker just made a strange noise while looking around the teacher’s

“My experiment is a fail!” yelled the teacher. The nutcracker looked a little frightened, but still stood there. Another thought crosses his mind. He could teach the nutcracker how to talk and the basics of life very fast. The nutcracker could learn at an amazing rate because he’s a fully developed person, just in a small body. “I will prove the whole school wrong.” said the teacher in a content voice. “I am Mr. Destry. You are Larry” he said while making gestures to imply who is who. Larry pointed to Mr. Destry and said “Mr. Destry?”. “Yes!” said Mr. Destry in a happy voice.

The bell rings and the students rush into the classroom excited it’s their last day until Christmas break. “ Goodmorning class today we are going to be learning about the law of conservation in 30 minutes i’ll have a surprise for all of you” said Mr. Destry with conviction. “ You’re not going to bring that nutcracker to life are you” said a student in a mocking tone.

They were all mocking him besides Josh and a few other students. The time passes by and Mr. Destry starts to talk. “ Are you all ready for surprise and for me to prove you all wrong.” Larry starts to walk on the table and address the classroom. All of the kids start laughing. “Wow you bought a mechanical talking nutcracker,” said one kid barely able to talk because she is laughing uncontrollably. “ Do I
