It's Monday today. Miss White comes into the classroom. She sees Mike, the tallest student, is
standing in front of the blackboard and speaking like a teacher. The boy does not see her and is still
standing there. The children begin to laugh and he looks round and finds Miss White is standing behind
him, so he runs back to his row.
"Morning, class," says Miss White. "Morning, Mis
s White." Ann stands up and says,
"Sam and I are on duty today. Sixteen boys and eighteen girls are all here." Sixteen boys? Who doesn't
come today?" asks Miss White. "Bill and his family move to London." "Oh, I see," Miss White says. But
she sees a cat on the teacher's desk. She asks, "Who draws the cat here?" No child answers, but they are
looking at Mike. So she says, "Can you answer the question, Mike?" He has to say, "I am sorry
, I do."
"You are the
worst child in your class!" "It's not my
fault. Why do you let Bill leave?"
