- (continued from previous page)Once upon a time there lived two children they were twins. They went to school every day. Their names were Tim and Jim. Tim was stupid and Jim was very intelligent. One day the master gave Tim three questions to answer being stupid he was unable to do so, and the master gave him to the following day. His brother Jim was not at school. When Tim went home he told Jim what had happened and that he could not answer the questions. Jim told him not to mind until the morning and that he would see about it.

What depth was the sea.
What weight was the moon.(continues on next page)
