"Of course!" said Mr Punch. "You see, teacher used to give us lessons in adding and sub- tracling to do at home after school. Now on a fine winter's day, when the pond is covered with glassy lee, no one liked to slay indoors doing these arith- metle lessons. But they all had to do it all but I! I used to go right down to the pond with my books, put on my skates and write all the figures on the ice. Then I would add them up, or subtract them. In other words.

I did my arithmetic lessons and had my fun ice skating both at the same time!"

"Oh!" said Hanid. "That was a wonderful idea!"

"Indeed it was for a while anyway."

"Why, what happened, Mr Punch?" said Knarf.

Mr Punch sighed. "The tea- cher made us bring our lessons into the classroom just to be sure that we had really done them. All the other children brought in their sheets of paper."
