free time. Frequently he did not do his homework, and when he did it, he

always made a lot of mistakes.
Then one day, his mathematics teacher looked at Tim’s homework
and saw that he had got all his sums right. The teacher was very pleased and
rather surprised. He called him to his desk and said to him, “You got all
your homework right this time, Tim. What happened? Did your father help
you?”
