EXAMPLE
Illustration★★★★The late comedian, Sam Levenson, often told stories about his
childhood school days. He recalled that his over-protective
mother accompanied him on his very first day in school and
insisted on talking to the teacher before leaving him. Levenson
said that among other things, his mother told the teacher that if
he misbehaved she should punish the boy next to him. “My lit-
tle boy learns by example,” she explained.
The point
Comedian Sam Levenson recalled his mother telling his teacher to punish the boy next to him if he misbehaved, since her boy learns by example.
