Even as a schoolboy, George was an expert animals but was not very enthusiastic the subjects that his teachers wanted him to study. He had difficulty his homework, but became experienced looking after horses, pigs and sheep.
The boy's parents, Anne and Michael, were farmers and George was always eager please them by helping in the fields, but he despaired learning Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. He was often excluded the classroom for making animal noises while failing to solve quadratic equations. He was so bored by foreign languages that he never learned to distinguish French and German.
As George gained experience animal husbandry, he discovered that Biology was different other school subjects and became less dissatisfied school. The head teacher, who had previously been very disturbed George's poor performance, became less doubtful his future. He disagreed members of his staff who thought that George had no future and encouraged the boy to engage visits to other parts of the country. George soon developed a love for Architecture and Geology. There was some delay George's application for university, but he finally distinguished himself passing three A-levels and winning a place at the University of Reading to study Veterinary Science.
Nobody needed to excuse George laziness as an undergraduate. He was now excited the career ahead of him and left Reading with a First Class Honours Degree. Anne and Michael proudly attended George's graduation ceremony where their son was dressed a black hat and gown. George no longer needed to be envious scholars, for now he was one of the leading lights of his generation. He soon found a job at a large Veterinary Surgery in his home town. For the young graduate, performing minor operations on cats and dogs was equivalent practising on human beings.
George is now engaged Susan, a young geologist whom he met at university. They are planning to emigrate to California where they will both be able to earn in excess 100 dollars in one day. They will no longer need to be dependent their parents. Their wedding will take place just before they leave England. George will invite his old headmaster to the reception and I am sure that he will drink a toast the newly married couple. Working as a geologist is equal working as a vet in California where fear of earthquakes and love of pet animals go hand in hand. Between them, Susan and George will deal many of California's problems. Rich Americans will be able to depend the two young graduates.
