When he is on his way to school, he thinks, “I tell my teacher my mother is ill on Monday morning. I tell him my bike is wrong on Tuesday. What do I tell my teacher today?”
Tom thinks over but he doesn’t find a good idea before he gets to school.“May I come in?” Tom shouts at the door of the classroom.
“ Oh, my boy,” says Mr Green. “ Please look at the clock on the wall. What time is it now?”
“ It’s ten past eight,” answers Tom.
