I wanted him to whip the teacher.

Father said: "I know the teacher is a good man.

I have known him for years, and he is honest, he is just, he is kind.

If he whipped you, you deserved it.

You can not see it that way, so I am going to whip you myself." He gave me a good licking, and, strange to say, it convinced me that he and the teacher were right.
