Benny hAd been convicTEd of a spate of thefts. Alan had been assigned to teach Benny about respect for other people's property, though he wasn't that hopeful of amending Benny's ways. The morning consisted of lectures on the psychological damage to subjects of crime, but Benny looked half asleep during the lectures. They had a meaty meal together and talked about football and music. In the afternoon Alan started teaching Benny to read music which grabbed Benny's attention. He learned about the different types of stave and how to represent different tones on it. After a few weeks, Alan and Benny were getting on really well and Alan was almost at the point where he could stake his reputation on having transformed Benny's thieving behaviour. After 2 years of Benny staying on the right side of the law and becoming a proficient musician Alan could at last feel a little pride in a job well done.
