I'm searching for a story that I heard a few years ago, and I'm hoping that someone may know the title. To the best of my knowledge, It's called "A Children's' Tale" or "A Children's' Story", but Google searches lead to no results. I'll try to describe it as best as I can, so bare with me.
OK. It's a short story meant to be read in a specific amount of time. (either 30min or an hour, I cant remember) It all takes place in a classroom during WW II. It begins on an ordinary day, but the kids' teacher is absent. In her stead is a beautiful young lady that is sent to fill in. The first thing she does is have the class say the pledge of allegiance, as most schools do, but then she questions the kids on their knowledge of what they just said. Of course, the kids don't know the meaning, they where just told to memorize the words. Well, short story shorter, she spends the next 20min or 50min (Again, I don't remember the time frame the book is meant to be read in) basically convincing these kids to denounce their beliefs in their country. At the end you find that the war has actually ended and the Germans have won. This young lady is in fact a German sent to "re educate" our kids.
The story is a great example of just how fast an entire generation can be manipulated into giving up all they know if done properly. Any help will be greatly appreciated. My wife and I are having kids soon and I'd really like to read them this story some day.
