Caleb went blank as he stared dumb at the teacher, the teacher advanced towards him threateningly.
Tell us what instrument you will use to measure temperature," the teacher said, as her voice raised a pitch.
Wind vane Caleb blurted. He had just remembered that the last time the teacher asked about an instrument, though he did not get it right Peter had said that the answer was wind vane.
So, he felt that should be the answer to the teacher's question again.
The entire class burst into laughter, he stared blindly at the laughing class, not understanding the reason why they were laughing.
Shame, shame, shame the teacher said and the entire class chorused shame.
He was flustered, another Pupil was called upon and the little girl gave the answer to be thermometer.
Very good, a big round of applause for her the teacher said and the class clapped well for her.
Caleb, did you hear what Rhoda said? the teacher asked.
Caleb nodded angrily.
