bin!” It was a piece of paper. On it were test questions for history. “That’s our history paper. I’m

sure of it，” said James，“ It’s in Mr. Trotter’s handwriting.” “Yes，I think so.” said Dick. “ I’ll sell the

paper for $1 to our classmates.” said James. So in the three days he went round the class and sold

the “test paper” to his classmates. James felt happy because he got $40. All the students were

sure that these questions would be in the test paper. The questions were quite difficult so they

had to work hard at preparing them.
