/// In a Finn Elementary School,
one young boy had the traits of a mule.
He’s the principal’s son,
so some cheating was done.
(Aarne’s teacher was nobody’s fool.)
/// He’s a stubborn and obstinate boy,
and refusing to work brought him joy,
so Miss Myrsky now planned
that she’d guide Aarne’s hand
as a means to remain in employ.
/// Over time the boy’s unfair reliance
was replaced by a grudging compliance.
Having taught teacher how,
they both forge Dad’s name now,
in a profitable new alliance.
