The teacher rushed him downstairs and gave him gym shorts to put on while his trousers dried out. All the other children were on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy was wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been transferred(转移) to someone else Susie.

To finish off the unit she organized a paper airplane contest. Each student was given a piece of paper. The plane that would fly the farthest won a prize.The students went to work immediately, carefully folding their paper. Before long, everyone was ready to go outside to start the contest except Jeff. He usually had his own view of life that was not always the same as the others in the class. Jeff didnt make a paper plane. He just sat there looking out of the window-thinking.To give him more time, the teacher told Jeff he could go last. Some of the planes only flew two meters while others did quite well. Jeff was the last one to fly his plane. He stepped to the line and showed his masterpiece(杰作) a flat piece of paper. But just as the class began to laugh, Jeff confidently wadded up (将揉成团) the piece of piece into a tight ball, and then drew his hand back and threw it higher and farther than the leading plane that had landed.The rest of the class stood there in amazement. The silence was broken when the teacher began to clap her hands and gave Jeff the first-place prize. The rest of the students then cheered the champion.Jeff showed a new way of solving a problem.
