An honest mistake
Karie double-checked the words on her spelling test. If she got full marks today, she’d win her class’s First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand new dictionary. Plus, Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled “honesty”, not“honestly”. She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.
Ms. McCormack graded the test papers during the break. Meanwhile, Karie sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then, Ms. McCormack walked to the front of the class and cleared her throat. As if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. McCormack’s feet flipped(空翻)into the air.
“Congratulations, Karie! You did it!”she announced while upside down.
The whole class broke into applause! Ms. McCormack righted herself and presented Karie with her prize. Karie grinned as she read the label on the box:To Karie Carter, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling.
“Is everything OK?”Mom asked as Karie burst through the front door after school. Karie didn’t answer. As if by magic, she took out her spelling test paper and prize and showed them to her mother. Mom hugged her, asking her to put the test paper on the fridge so that Dad could see it when he got home.Karie took another look at the test paper before putting it on the fridge. Her hands stopped in mid-air. She just couldn’t believe her eyes.“Honesly”?
YES! H-O-N-E-S-L-Y!
Mom sensed something unusual and asked why. Karie stuffed the test paper into her backpack and explained that she was just too excited. Mom brought her some tea. Yes, a“t”was exactly what she needed.
After drinking a little, Karie plodded(沉重缓慢地走)down the hall, lost in thought. How could she tell the class she hadn’t earned the prize and that Ms. McCormack did the handstand for nothing?
