His teacher tries to think of ways to change him:” Look at us when you are in class. Don’t be so absent-minded”. Tommy answers:”Ok, I will”. One day, Tommy is in English class. He is looking out of the window and smiling. His English teacher asks the class:” say two pronouns, please answer my question”. Tommy looks at his teacher in surprise and stands up:” Who? Me”. The teacher says:” Good, sit down please”.
