Good morning, good morning, good morning. We present to you, 'Who Did Patrick's Homework?'
A: "Patrick! Do your homework or you won't learn a thing."
All: And it's true, sometimes he did feel like a ding-a-ling. But what could he do? He hated homework. He watched TV, playing games and surfing the net instead. Then, one morning, his cat was playing with a little doll. He grabbed it away. To his surprise it wasn't a doll at all. But, a man of the tiniest size.
C: "Save me! Don't give me back to that cat. I'll grant you a wish, I promise you that."
All: Patrick could not believe how lucky he was! Here was the answer to all of his problems. Hehehe....
B: "Only if you do all my homework until the end of the semester. If you do a good enough job, I could even get A's."
All: The little man's face wrinkled.He kicked his legs and doubled his fists and he grimaced and scowled and pursed his lips.
C: "Oh, am I cursed! But I'll do it."
All: Except.... there was one glitch. The elf didn't always know what to do and he needed help.
C: "Help me! Help me!" "I don't know this word," "Get me a dictionary. No, what's even better. Look up the word and sound it out by each letter."
All: When it came to mathemathics, Patrick was out of luck.
C: "What are times tables?" "We elves never need that. And addition and subtraction and division and fractions? Here, sit down beside me, you simply must guide me."
All: Elves know nothing of human history, to them it's a mystery.
C: "Go to the library, I need books. More and more books. And you can help me read them too."
All: Every day in every way that little elf was a nag! Patrick was working harder than ever and was it a drag! He was staying up nights, had never felt so weary, was going to school with his eyes puffed and bleary.
Finally the last day of school arrived and the elf was free to go. As for homework, there was no more, so he quietly and slyly slipped out the back door.
Patrick got his A's; his classmates were amazed; his teachers smiled and were full of praise. And his parents? They wondered what had happened to Patrick. He was now the model kid. Cleaned his room, did his chores, was cheerful, never rude, like he had developed a whole new attitude.
You see, in the end Patrick still thought he'd made that tiny man do all his homework. But I'll share a secret, just between you and me. It wasn't the elf; Patrick had done it himself! THE END...
Thanks for reading~~ (^^)v
