Once upon a time, there was a student who always forgot to bring his school supplies to class. One day, the teacher asked for a piece of paper and the student said, "I don't have any paper." The teacher asked for a pencil and the student replied, "I don't have a pencil either." The teacher was getting frustrated, so she asked for an exercise book and the student responded, "I don't have that either."

The teacher was at her wit's end, but then she remembered that the student always had a big rucksack with him. She asked, "What do you have in your rucksack?" The student replied, "Just my chair, desk, book, ruler, and pen." The teacher was shocked and couldn't help but laugh. From that day on, the student never forgot to bring his school supplies to class!

3. How did the teacher react when she found out what was in the student's rucksack?

4. Have you ever forgotten something important for school or class?

5. What do you think would have happened if the student had not brought his chair, desk, book, ruler and pen in his rucksack?
