Matt looked on as Mr Lensher was handcuffed by the police. The wrinkles on his face were suddenly so detailed that Matt suspected if he had made the right decision. Aged sixty, a sentence for theft would have caused to die in jail. Ironically, Matt could remember the exact same words Mr Lensher once told him, "No matter how old or young a person is, or whatever reason he has for committing a crime, if he breaks the law, he deserves to be punished. " It was these exact words that made Matt apprehend Mr Lensher, the exact same words spoken by Mr Lensher himself. An irony indeed.
Mr Lensher was Matt's most respected teacher during his days as a student in high school. As his teacher, Mr Lensher taught Matt more than just academic lessons, he brought forth the essence of moral values in our daily lives and educated his students in that area as well.

    People always talk about the innocent lives of human beings and animals being killed/diseased/injured while everybody seems blinded towards fruits, vegetables, and plants when the same things happen to them! The lives of these harmless organisms are never considered while we chow down on salads and apples! The lives of the innocent must be protected!|The solution is simple, banning the consumption and destruction of all vegetables, fruits, and plants. This means that some forms of medicine will be eliminated due to some of the chemicals being extracted from plants but, rest assured that this sacrifice will not go out in vein due to plant-life being saved! Whenever a human, animal, or insect is caught even plucking an apple off of its own home, they will be punished by death, pesticide, or insecticide respectively. There will be monthly searches in everyone’s house in order to ensure that the plants are getting the necessary water, sunlight, and nutrition that they need. If you fail to keep your plants alive, death will be the ultimate punishment. I know that a lot of needed nutrition comes from these precious life forms so; I have created a monopoly on legal, synthetic fruits, vegetables, and even plants! |1.…
