Mr. Jackson was our science teacher. On the first day of class, he gave us a talk about an animal called the wampus.

Later we had a .
When the exam paper was to me, I was surprised and sad. There was a big red “×” through each of my answers—I failed. But how come? , on the test paper, I had written down Mr. Jackson said in class.
Then I realized that no one the exam at all. What had happened?
