Apparently
in that one classroom where the girl in the wolf-skin studied, there were
others who wanted to follow in her footsteps. Generalization aside, this story
is about only one other girl. The difference between the two was that this new
girl did not have the same skills at cheating as the one in wolf-skin.
The
wolf-skin girl was a sly one. She had tricks up her sleeve that would throw
back the biggest con artist who ever lived. There were talks about her in the
staff room and her methods of cheating were never the same. She got caught on a
couple of occasions, but it was still very hard to prove that she had cheated.
This
other girl was an amateur and truly sweet. So much so, that the teacher
immediately realized that she was cheating the moment she laid eyes on her. Her
method of cheating was from a cheat sheet that she had neatly hidden in her
book that was laying on the table smack in front of her. Every time she needed
to know an answer she simply lifted the cover of her book and took a peek at
her notes.
However, it was not that easy for her to
glance at them for the teacher had her eyes on the girl, especially because she
was sitting right next to the experienced girl in the wolf-skin. Do not think
that little wolf-skin girl wasn´t trying out her own tricks, she sure was.
However, this time around the girl in the wolf -skin made a huge mistake: she
sat next to her apprentice.
The
teacher let out a loud: Please do not cheat. Remember that teachers were
students once too.
Some
students smiled and laughed. The girl in the wolf-skin said she was not doing
anything. Bingo! Whenever you deny something, it is very clear that you have
done something wrong. The apprentice
turned as red as a turnip. She was getting nervous because the teacher would
not turn away.
A
break at last! One of the students went up to the teacher´s desk to ask her a
question. The apprentice lifted her book and put her cheat sheet under her test
paper. Meanwhile the girl in the wolf-skin sat on her hind legs so she could
take a peek at another classmates test.
The
teacher could not simply go up to the girls and humiliate them in front of
their classmates, nor could she simply take the tests away. Besides, she would
bother the other students who were really focused on taking the test and doing
their best.
Once
again the teacher let out: You do realize I can tell whether or not you are
cheating. Please do not make me take away your test and give you a zero.
That
being said, the wolf-skin sat down properly; the apprentice stopped checking
her cheat sheet. However, the apprentice made a huge mistake.
She
handed in her test with the cheat sheet stuck between two of the pages. It just
so happened that she had used one of those yellow pieces of paper that stick on
to things to write her notes down on: caught red-handed.
