Nora

Рамиро Лебедев-Толмач
As you may know, Nora is a school director. Her school is very big. It has 800 pupils. Some of her pupils are very lazy, some are very noisy and some are really very bright. Anyway all Nora’s pupils like her a lot.
  Nora is a very good-looking woman, she is tall and slim. She has a pleasant smile but everybody knows what her smile means. Nora has a strong will and nobody can contradict her. If she wants you to sing, you will sing. If she wants you to dance, you will dance. If she wants you to jump from a roof, well, you’d better stay at home today...
  Well, jokes aside: Nora is not such a monster as she may seem. In fact she is much worse. Of course all her pupils are still safe and sound. But she has one little hobby. It’s rugby, which is her favourite kind of sport. When she appears on a sports ground in her sports suit, nobody is brave enough to push her, so her team always wins. In her turn Nora forgets who she is when it comes to rugby. She pushes her rivals very hard, kicks her poor students and runs like hell!
  After each game Nora returns to school and gives a French lesson. As you know she is proud of her husband, so she can talk about him for hours. Her pupils don’t understand a word she says but pretend to listen to her very attentively. If Nora doesn’t speak about her husband, she speaks about her son. Everybody hates him for his bad character, but silence is gold...
