OK, I have a plan for the test. Margo will copy Heitor’s answers. Then I’ll copy Margo’s. Julia will copy mine.

That’s cheating!

So? Mr. Costa is a bad teacher.

I won’t do that.

But you sit by Heitor! He’s the smartest kid in class. If you don’t help us, we’ll all fail!

alt text

I’m just going to study and do my best.

A few days later …

Oh no. I almost failed! And I studied so hard.
