In the Middle.

His teacher looked over his over shoulder to find that he was reading the last page.
Then she asked him, "Finished it already, have you now?"
"No, not really. I read the first and last pages," He replied.
His teacher then asked, "Now why would you do that?"
"I like to find the end in the beginning and the beginning in the end. It's the mark of a good story," He said.
His teacher forced out a wry yet caring smile and said to him,
"That is true, but in time you'll come to realize that what is in the middle is just as important."
