Mr. Zhou is a Chinese teacher of Grade 1 in a school. One day while he1 into the classroom, he heard a low2, “Here is the teacher. I don't like him because he is a3 fellow (家伙). I'm sure the boring fellow is going to4 putting in commas (逗号) today." It was Bill's voice. He was talking with a boy next to him.
The teacher didn't get angry. He said 5 about it, but began to talk about putting in commas, and then he6 down the sentence on the blackboard," Bill says his7 is a boring fellow."
The class laughed and Bill's face8 red.
“Now," said the teacher. "I'll show you9 important commas are."
He put10 commas into the sentence and then read, "Bill, says his teacher, is a boring fellow."
