---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack always gets in trouble with many people. For example, he forgets to do homework and says “ I put homework on desk in my room.” He also has accident in the chemistry laboratory. It is because he mixes chemicals without attention. So he gets in trouble with teacher and his parents in the same day. He can’t sleep at that night. By the way, Jack is looking forward to a fair. This fair name is “The Westbourne Fair.” He wants to go to this fair. But…

A day headmaster calls Jack and David and anger to him. It is because a wall is painted.

It is written such us “I Hate Skool! Jack.” Jack and David don’t paint the wall. But Jack screens David. Later, he comes home and gets in trouble with his mother. His mother says “Don’t leave your room!!” But that day is The Westbourne Fair day. His mother doesn’t allow him to go to the fair. Although he insists on going in person. So he leaves his room secretly. Nobody don’t see.
