As she stood in front of her class, like most teachers, she said that she loved them all. However, that was impossible, because in the front row there was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson noticed that he did not play well with the other children, and that his clothes were dirty. In addition, Teddy performed badly in studies.

Then, she was required to review each child’s past records. However, when she reviewed Teddy’s, she was in surprise.

One of Teddy’s former teachers wrote,“Teddy is an excellent student with a ready laugh and good manners, well liked by his classmates, but his mother’s death has been hard on him. His home life will soon affect him if some steps aren’t taken.”

By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She felt worse when her students brought her beautiful Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddy’s. His present was an old bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume(香水). She applied some of the perfume to her wrist. Teddy Stoddard stayed after school that day just to say, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my mom used to be.” After he left, she cried for an hour.

Since then, Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The more she encouraged him, the faster he progressed. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.

The story did not end there. Years later, there was a letter from Teddy, saying he was going to be married. He was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit at the wedding in the place that was usually reserved for the mother.

Of course, Mrs. Thompson did. And guess what! She wore the perfume. They hugged each other, and Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you so much for showing me that I could make a difference.” Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”
