Mr Roger and John.

One night a boy called John was studying history in his bedroom until half past ten. He was very tired.

 The next day it was a sunny day. He woke up at half past eight. John dressed up and left the house.

 At 8:45 John was in the bus until he got to school.

 When he got to school it was 9:00. The history exam had started. Mr Roger told him off, but he could do the history exam. The children had already started the exam.

 When they gave him the mark John was surprised because he got an A. His parents were very proud and congratulated him.
