    My friend Patrick never did his homework. "Too boring," he often said. Instead (代替), he played basketball and baseball.

    His teachers told him, "Patrick! You won't learn anything if you don't do your homework." But Patrick didn't like doing his homework. Then one day, he got a toy and wanted to give the toy to his cat. But the toy was a witch (巫师)."Save me! Don't give me to that cat." "If you help me do my homework this term, I can save you." The witch agreed and began to help do Patrick's homework. But the witch always didn't know the answers. So he said to Patrick, "Go to the library. I need many books. And you can help me read them. So I can finish your homework." Patrick agreed and he found that it was interesting to read books.

    Patrick got his Ac in the exam. His classmates were amazed and they never thought he could get Ac. His teachers felt happy. Patrick felt very happy too.
