In Class

It is 10:15 a.m. Everyone is taking a math test. Linda is sitting near Susan, and she is whispering something.
“Quiet!” the teacher, Ms. Jones, says. She looks at the class.

Bill raises his hand. “I have a problem,” he says. He must leave the class. Linda giggles.


Two minutes later he comes back. He sits at his desk in front of Linda, and he has something in his hand.


“Give me that slip of paper!” says Ms. Jones. “You are a cheat! Your father is going to hear about this.”
“That is my biggest problem,” says Bill. Then he leaves the class. Everyone laughs except for Ms. Jones.
