 This morning when I woke up after a long and sleepless night I came downstairs. I found there my mother and Mr. Murdstone with a stick in his hands. I was to answer my lesson but I felt the words of my lesson (had disappeared from my memory. I came in thinking I was well prepared but it was a mistake. \"If you do not remember the material, I\'ll beat you\". Mr. Murdstone was the worst stepfather in the world. \"Do not beat me, sir. I try to learn\". But he did not listen to me and did not let my mother help me.
