The boy was a genius, but as a result, he was always being teased.
School boys and girls alike, sniggered and made jokes behind his back. He was sick of it… really sick of it. It just didn’t stop!
One morning, when the teacher had been writing mathematical formulas on the blackboard, he had been called away. When he was gone, the nastiest child in the classroom, asked the boy genius to mathematically prove the existence of infinity.
At this, the boy went to the supply cupboard next to the blackboard and found a large piece of blue chalk. He came out and drew a huge arrow on the board, pointing right. He then walked to the classroom door and marked it in the same way, with an arrow, pointing right. Then he moved clockwise to the next wall and drew another, pointing right, beneath the window. He repeated this on the last wall, next to a set of shelves. Then, on the floor, in front of the open cupboard, he placed a final arrow, pointing towards the cupboard. At this point, he entered the tiny cupboard and closed the door behind him.
The room fell silent.
He was never to be seen again…
