It were a very long minutes. Mrs. Cooper didn't stop the punishment until the bunch of the stinging nettles was completely ruined. Belinda's bottom was stung all over. Finally the strict woman stopped and looked over her work.

"I hope you learned your lesson, sneak!" she said "And now get out from my garden, if only you didn't want get another thrashing right now! You have time to run, until I pull out another bunch!" and she bend over to pull some nettles.

Belinda run away sobbing in pain. She climbed over the fence really quickly and only after it started to trimming herself up. She surely won't to show Rebecca any evidence of her painful misfortune. She still didn't notice that evil girl peeped all her punishment. So Belinda wiped away her tears, pulled down her skirt and walked to Rebecca smiling and holding the ball.

All the way home poor German couldn't do anything but rubbed her sore bottom again and again through the skirt, while American secretly laughed at her misfortune.
