ASSIGNMENT #3 Dialogue

           As I shuffled into the classroom, I knew that Mr. Van Camp would never believe me. I looked at my scuffed shoes and mumbled, " My homework is not done, Sir. I do have a good excuse though."

          Mr. Van Camp scowled as he looked up from the papers he was marking. "This is not the first time your homework has not been completed. Perhaps," he suggested, "it's time to speak with your parents."

          "Please, you have no idea what will happen to me if you phone my home," I moaned.
"Well, let's hear your excuse. It better be good."


           I thought about making up a lie, how could he ever believe me if i told him what actually happened?. "No I have to tell the truth," I thought to myself, so i looked up, stared him straight in the eye and began to explain.

          "Mr.Van Camp" I exclaimed " On my way to school this morning something amazing happened to me". He gave me a quizzical look and in a curious tone replied "yes?". " I was walking along like I do on any other day and noticed a small, spherical object glimmering in the sun", "and that's what caused you to not do you homework?", Mr.Van Camp declare. Persistently I affirmed "No!", "Please just let me continue" I added.

           With a large sigh I answered ," Well you see this object was just about to fall into a man hole and I had this urge to run over and snatch it before it fall's in, so I did". "After examining it for a moment I realized that it was a small coin...but not just any coin a very, very old coin. One perhaps that dated back to early 1700 or so. Not knowing what to do with it I decided to take it to a bank where they could tell me exactly how much the coin was actually worth, and once I got there the bank teller lady jumped in a commotion yelling and panting and screaming profusely. She told me that my one of a kind coin was worth over 80,000 dollars and was indeed very famous so I cashed it in and...", "Wait,wait,wait!", Mr.Van Camp said "if you found this 'famous coin' and cashed it in where is the money now?" I opened my bag only slightly to reveal my abondont amount of money spewing from the seams.


           And when I looked up from my backpack to see Mr.Van Camp's reaction he was no where to be found. In fact he happened to had fallen back and out of his chair on the ground and all i thought to myself was "Wow I guess skipping class to get candy and then buying a bag of fake money in order to avoid a detention really does work".
