Locker 114

0:00 In my last year of school someone kept

0:02 leaving food in my locker.

0:04 A sandwich, an apple,

0:05 sometimes a chocolate bar,

0:07 two or three times a week.

0:09 My family was having a bad year and I ate

0:13 every bit of it and never told anyone.

0:16 I assumed it was a teacher.

0:18 Fifteen years later at a reunion,

0:21 a woman I barely remembered asked if I ever

0:24 figured out who it was.

0:26 It had been her.

0:28 She had noticed I stopped bringing lunch,

0:31 and she was too shy to say anything to my

0:34 face,

0:35 so she just used the gap under the door.

0:38 She apologised for not asking if I was okay.

0:42 I told her the sandwiches had asked perfectly

0:45 well.
