A Day in Your Shoes
Chapter3: Back at School
Hobbes had already done spelling and went to lunch by now. After science recess would start.
Hobbes walked back to class, hoping science would be better than the other subjects.
There was much talk among the students. Hobbes wondered what about.
Before Hobbes could ask someone, Miss Wormwood sat down.
The noise stopped.
"Alright class," said Miss Wormwood. "Turn to page eighty-one in your books please."
Hobbes got his book. The title of the book read, "All about Tigers".
"They're studying about tigers!" thought Hobbes excitedly. "This will be an easy class!"
"Would you like to give us a summary of the last section Calvin?" asked Miss Wormwood.
Miss Wormwood didn't really think he had read the assignment. She just wanted to make sure.
"Sure," said Hobbes.
"Oh -no!" thought Hobbes. "I'm doomed! I don't know what the last section was about.wait a minute!"
Hobbes glanced at the last section in the book.
"Tiger's Appearance" was what the section was about.
Soon Hobbes had quoted the section and much they hadn't learned.
"You see Tigers have-"
"That's very nice Calvin. Sit down please" said Miss Wormwood interrupting Hobbes.
Hobbes sat down. He did not notice the kids staring at him while he was talking.
"At least I quoted the last section," he thought.
Miss Wormwood looked at the clock. Hobbes had taken five minutes to tell what tigers look like.
Miss Wormwood sighed.
"At least he's applying himself now," Miss Wormwood thought.
"Okay, class," she said. "We will be studying the habitat of tigers today."
Even though Hobbes knew all about tigers, he listened very hard as Miss Wormwood taught.
"Any minute hearing about tigers is a good minute," Hobbes thought, grinning a bit.
Soon it was recess. Even though Hobbes had listened during class, he was glad to be outside.
"Being cooped up in a school all day isn't my idea of fun," thought Hobbes.
Suddenly Moe approached him.
"Alright, Twinkie give me a quarter!" Moe said.
Hobbes instinctively reached into his pocket and pulled put a quarter.
"Haw! What a sissy!" laughed Moe as he walked off.
Hobbes sighed. He noticed an empty swing; He climbed on and began pumping his legs.
"Being a tiger is much easier than being a kid," he thought.
A while later Hobbes ran happily up to the front door.
"I'm home!" he yelled.
Suddenly Hobbes heard a loud wump.
He opened the door and spotted Calvin rubbing his head.
"The doors still standing. I'll close it so you can try to knock it down again," Hobbes said.
Calvin groaned. He would get Hobbes when he least expected it.
