23、One day James came up to Dick and said, “Look what I’ve found in Mr. Trotter’s rubbish bin.” It was a piece of paper. On it were some test questions for history. “That’s our history paper. I am sure of it,” said James. “It’s Mr. Trotter’s handwriting.” “Yes, I think so,” said Dick. “I’ll sell the paper for ＄1.00 to each of our classmates,” said James. So in the next three days he went round the class and sold the “test paper” to his classmates. James felt happy because he got ＄40.00.
