Mr. Pan
Mrs. Pan is pregnant.
To Mr. Pan, this news likes a two-side sword. Having a child means happiness and in a sense, a whole family. But to an art teacher in primary school of a small town, having a baby means needing more money. Mr. Pan is such a teacher.
In order to have a healthy baby, Mrs. Pan always needs something nutrient like fish, chicken, eggs and lean meat. Therefore, Mr. Pan is in charge of purchase. The first time when he went to the market, he was shocked by the skyrocketing prices. “How much are these eggs?” asked Mr. Pan. “Well, six Yuan for a dozen.” Came a motionless voice. “Pardon?” raising his voice, widening his eyes, Mr. Pan asked. I am just in my thirties, so it must be the seller rather than I who made a mistake, Mr. Pan said to himself. In strong terms the seller repeated the price. This poor man had no choice but to buy the egg for his wife and future kid.
Mrs. Pan wants apples. Mrs Pan wants fresh vegetables. With a salary of 302 Yuan Mr. Pan is in great need of money or what Mrs. Pan asked for. Suddenly a good idea struck this art teacher. He tells his students they will have a class of drawing objects. “You can bring objects like fish, chicken, eggs or something like that.” Mr. Pan said to his students and he knew they are obedient kids. In drawing class, seeing what the students have brought, this art teacher feels a little pity that there is no lean meat. After class Mr. Pan asked the student in charge of study to bring the pictures and objects to his house. “I have to compare your pictures to your objects then I can give you marks.” Mr. Pan said to his students. The art teacher got forty-five eggs, two fish and a chicken. The second class is drawing apples. He got forty-eight apples. The third drawing class is coming, but Mr. Pan has not decided what to draw. A student suggests, “Mr. Pan, my father said that we can draw RMB.” Mr. Pan is stunned. “Nonsense, it is illegal to draw RMB. We are going to draw person, so you can draw your Mr. Pan. The art teacher says after long silence.
