Read together
Once upon a time, there was a student named Tim who always carried a rucksack filled with books and paper. One day, while Tim was sitting in class, his teacher asked him to take out a ruler and pencil. Tim reached into his rucksack, but to his surprise, he pulled out a board instead! The entire class burst out laughing, including the teacher. From that day on, Tim became known as the "Board Boy" and every time he reached for something, the whole class would giggle and ask, "Is it a board this time?" But Tim didn't mind, he was just happy to make everyone smile. The end.
