After a while, Mr. Black comes back. He sees Mike talking to his deskmate Jack. Mr. Black is very angry.
"Stand up, Mike！" says the teacher. "What are you doing？"
"I'm reading English now, " says Mike.
"What's in your hand? Please look at it carefully, " says the teacher.
Mike looks at it. Oh, it's a history book. He looks at Jack's hand. There is an English book in his hand. He has a good idea right away.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Black. Jack is holding an English book and I am holding a history book. We are studying the history of English. "
