Reading

It was Friday and Tony had a very special reason for not attending school. On last Friday of every month, his Maths teacher Mr. Randal takes a test for his students. If anyone did not do well in his special tests, Mr. Randal would make sure the student stayed after the lessons. Last evening Tony spent most of his time glued to his computer games. So he lied to his mother he had some stomachache and stayed at home. Feeling very pleased with himself, Tony watched TV. By 11 o’clock, he switched on his computer. After an hour, his computer games had lost their excitement. By 2 o’clock he started studying.

Next Monday, Tony’s friends told him that on Friday Mr. Randal had taken them to Aircraft Museum where they had seen fighter aircrafts, lots of weapons and machinery. Tony felt very sorry for himself. His ambition was to become a fighter pilot. Tony went to Mr. Randal and apologized for his absence. Mr. Randal forgave him. That evening, the boy surprised his mother with a perfect test score.
