Summary: Verdie Grant, a neighbor of the Waltons, has always longed to learn how to read and write. In order to suprise her daughter at her college graduation, she asks John Boy to teach her how - as long as he doesn't tell anyone that she is illiterate. However, Elizabeth finds out about it and manages to spill the beans about it, and when Verdie finds out about it, she thinks John Boy told someone and blames him. Things eventually get straightened out and John Boy and Verdie continue on as teacher and pupil.
