　　When Tom was eight and a half years old, he went to school near his house. He always went there and came home on foot, and he usually got back on time. But last Friday he came home from school late. His mother was in the kitchen. She saw him and said to him, “why are you so late today, Tom?”

　　“My mother was angry and sent me to the headmaster after our lessons.” Tom answered.

　　“To the headmaster?” His mother said, “Why did she send you to him?”
