CHEATERS NEVER PASS
give you a pop quiz. If you answer all the questions correctly, I'll give you the watch. How does that sound?
Nisha:
(Reluctantly) Umm...Okay.
Bina:
What's 8 plus 8? (In deep thought) Uhhh, let me think, Oh, yeah, it's 15.
Nisha:
Bina:
No, let's try another problem. What is 6 + 6?
Nisha:
(Hesitating) Uhhh.... 14?
Bina:
You must be nervous. What is 2+1?
Nisha:
4?
Bina:
4? You don't know your Math at all! How did you score 100 on all your papers?
Nisha:
I already told you, it was the magic sunglasses.
Bina:
And just how did those magic sunglasses help you?
Nisha:
The answers popped right before my eyes. It's like they came out of nowhere but I was certain they were the right answers.
Bina:
(Knowingly) I bet your sunglasses had something to do with the answers popping right in front of your eyes.
Nisha:
(Feeling hurt) You don't believe me?
Bina:
Ohhh, I believe you... I believe that you may have cheated?
Nisha:
(Defensively) When I am wearing my sunglasses, no one knows that I am cheating. No one else knows but you and me.
Bina:
That's not true; you have forgotten someone else who knows what you are up to.
Nisha:
Who?
