Peppermint Patty stands in the house and watches Marcie pull her coat on. She says,"I guess some things stay with us forever."<BR><BR> As they walk out of the house she continues,"My dad said that he's never forgotten something a teacher once wrote on one of his papers..."<BR><BR> They walk down the lane and she continues,"They were supposed to write an essay on human relationships."<BR><BR> They stop at the curb. She reaches up to push the traffic-signal button and continues,"I guess the teacher didn't like his essay because she wrote, 'Fiddlesticks!' at the bottom..."<BR><BR> They continue walking and Marcie says,"I've never heard that expression." Peppermint Patty says,"Anyway, it hurt my dad's feelings, and he never got over it."<BR><BR> Marcie and Peppermint Patty sit at their desk looking at sheets of paper. Marcie says,"I see our teacher has returned the essays we wrote yesterday..."<BR><BR> She asks,"What did the teacher write on yours, sir?"<BR><BR> Peppermint Patty looks at the paper and replies,"Grody to the max!" She grimaces and concludes,"I think I would have preferred 'Fiddlesticks'."<BR><BR>
