• “A test?” said Tom. “Really?” • "Yes, it's quite true," said Mike. "When I
was by Mr Hill's room, he was talking to another teacher about a test. I think there will be a science test this afternoon. Tell Paul and Kathy about it."
• But not Mike. He was laughing to himself at his classmates. “What fools!” he thought. “April fools.”
