Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Mr. Bewinkel. It was me, Braydon Grant. It was not normal, but it was my name. I had a problem. Everyone called me Braydon, but my name was Mr. Bewinkel. He looked like this. He had a manly beard and black hair. He was a nice man, but he did not most certainly like kids!!!
He walked into the cafeteria room … and he turned purple. He had a seizure. He went to the hospital. He went back to the school … and he liked kids. He loved them so much. I wondered what happened. He didn’t like kids. Now he does.
The kids all wondered what happened to Mr. Bewinkel. They all went and asked Mr. Bewinkel, “What happened at the hospital?”
“They did brain surgery. The brain surgery was very painful and they put me to sleep. The doctor stopped my brain and put sweet candy in my brain. The doctor sewed my brain back up and I came back to school. When I saw you kids, I liked you right away. I have no memory of the past. What was I like before?”
The kids said, “You were very mean to the kids.”
Mr. Bewinkel said, “I’m most certainly sorry.”
The children said, “That’s all right.”
Mr. Bewinkel and the children are friends in the future.
