On

the

test,

however,

Mr.

Jones

got

a

big

surprise.

He wrote

down

all

of

scores.

Then

he counted

the

number

of

students

that

got

between

91

100.

He found

out that

there

were

only

a

few

B's

and

C's. Most

of

the

students

in

his

class

got

a

D or

an

F on

the

final

test.

Mr.

Jones

looked

at

the

test

again.

He

thought

that

it

was

too

hard.

He

decided

to

give

every

student

10

more

points.

Then

many

of

the

students

got

good

grades

on

the teacher

said to

"I

am

going

a test. This

is

a

test

to

see

how

smart

you

are. I will

ask

each

one

question."

One

by

one she asked

her

students

a

question.

For

example, "What

is

the next

number:

2,4,6...?"

The

answer,

of

course,

is

8.

Another

question

was

"As

to...."

And

the answer

is

The

last

person

she

questioned

was

Johnny.

Johnny

was

always

at

the

bottom

of the

class.

The

teacher

thought

this

was

because

he

was lazy.

"Now,

Johnny,"

she

said,

"I'm

going

to

ask

you

a simple question.

Listen

carefully

and

give

me the

correct

answer.

The

question

is:

Captain

Cook

made three

trips

around

the

world.

He

died

on

one

of the

trips.

On

which

trip

did he

die?,'

"That's

not a

fair question,"

Johnny

said. "That

question

tests

what I

know

about

history,

not

how

smart

I

am."
