Ted’s second class was almost worse in his opinion than math; the second period was English. He could already speak English and write English just fine, so what else was there for him to learn in this class? For Ted, this was the absolute most boring part of his day.
Partway through his English class Ted glanced at the clock and noticed that it was 10:30 am. “Just three more minutes,” he thought, “three minutes and I will be fifteen years old.” With a growing sense of excitement, Ted watched the clock tick off the last three minutes until he officially turned fifteen. Then, at exactly 10:33 am Ted congratulated himself and wished himself a happy birthday.
