Magen double-checked the words on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she'd win her class' First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary that came with videos and other cool stuff. Plus, Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand (手倒立) if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She'd spelled honesty, not honestly! She erased ‘-ty' and wrote ‘-ly' before handing in her paper. Ms. McCormack graded the papers while the students were at rest.
After a break, Magen hurried into the classroom, sitting in her seat nervously—Ms. McCormack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. "Congratulations, Magen! You did it!" Then, as if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. McCormack's feet flipped into the air. The whole class erupted!
Ms. McCormack presented Magen with her prize. A big smile spread across Magen's face as she read the label on the box: To Magen Carter, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling.
"Everything OK?" Mom asked as Magen burst through the front door after school.
"Everything's perfect!" Magen shouted, showing Mom her spelling test and prize.
Mom hugged her. "Well done, Magen"
Magen scooped up (抱起) her cat. "Can you spell nicely, Casper? And quickly and honestly, and…" It suddenly occurred to her that she had misspelled the word. Rooted to the spot, Magen reflected on how she could tell the whole class she shouldn't have earned the prize at all. She dashed into her room and pulled out the test paper. "If I put the missing ‘t' back in, no one would ever know," she thought. Recalling the joyful moment, a mixture of guilt and unwillingness overwhelmed her.
