Half the class giggled.
“Thank you, Benjamin,” said Mrs. Franklin.
The other half giggled.
Dana answered the next question.
“And what’s your name?” Mrs. Franklin asked Dana.
“Benjamin!” Dana blurted, then fell giggling onto the floor.
“Thank you, Benjamin,” said the substitute.
Everyone was hysterical.
“My, it is certainly a pleasure to teach such happy students,” said the substitute. “Who knows the answer to question four?”
They all raised their hands. They all wanted to tell the substitute their names were Benjamin.
They were having so much fun, they forgot to drop their books at ten o’clock.
At recess everyone congratulated Benjamin on his great trick.
“You’re a genius, Mark,” said Todd.
“Benjamin is such a funny name,” said Jason. “How’d you ever think of it?”
“But my name really is Benjamin,” said Benjamin.
“So is mine,” said Stephen.
“Mine too,” said Leslie.
They all laughed.
“Do you think she really believes we’re all named Benjamin?” asked Eric Ovens.
“Probably,” said Joy. “She’s so stupid!”
“If she thought we were lying, she would have gotten mad,” said Eric Bacon.
The bell rang, and they all hurried back to class.
After recess was social studies.
“Who would like to read?” asked Mrs. Franklin.
Every hand went up.
“Okay, Benjamin,” said Mrs. Franklin as she pointed at Dana.
Everyone laughed.
Dana giggled a few seconds, then got control of herself and read from the book.
“Thank you, Benjamin,” said the substitute when Dana finished reading. “Okay, Benjamin, you may read next,” she said, pointing at Terrence.
Everyone laughed.
