Author's Note

The name of the teacher has been changed.

Am a student of Grade 7

Our English Literature class was ongoing and we had been studying "Sherlock Holmes." Mrs. Diana was the teacher who had been reading aloud the book for us. As far as I remember, it was "The Blue Carbuncle."

Everyone had been so mesmerized with Mrs.Diana's reading that we couldn't distinguish between the dialogues of the characters of the story and her own words. While reading, out of nowhere she shouted, "Give me a pen and a piece of paper!"

Some of the students offered the teacher those and she burst into laughter, saying that,"I didn't demand a pen and a piece of paper from you, that particular line was written in the story!"

Everyone laughed hard when we realized the foolishness of some fools!
