>>
>> Books and papers are spread out all over the room and little Tommy is
>> hard

>>
>> His mother is amazed.
>>
>> She calls him down to dinner and to her shock, the minute he is done he

>> the books as hard as before.
>>
>> This goes on for sometime, day after day while the mother tries to
>> understand what made all the difference.
>>
>> Finally, little Tommy brings home his report card.
>>
>> He quietly lays it on the table and goes up to his room and hits the
> books.
>>
>> With great trepidation, his mom looks at it and to her surprise, little
