Mike lived in a small town outside New York City. He spent much time playing football. All the teachers said he was not hard-working. His parents hoped he could work hard at his lessons, but he wouldn’t listen to them.
It was Monday, December 23rd, before a week’s holiday began, Mr. Clark, their history teacher tested the students. The boy played football that Sunday and didn’t prepare for the test at all. He couldn’t answer the questions, even the easiest one, for example “Who was George Washington?” He hoped to watch the biggest football match in France on TV. So he wrote on the test paper, “God knows! I don’t! Merry Christmas!” Then he hurried off.
