Four girls went to school together every day by taxi.
One day one of the girls said, "There is a test this morning, let's get to school late. Then we can miss the
test."
"What can we say to the teacher?" One of the girls said. "He'll be angry. We'll need a good reason." The
girl thought for several minutes, then one of them said, "Let's tell them that our taxi had a flat tyre."
"That's a good idea," the other girl said. "We'll tell him that." They reached school an hour later. The test
was already finished.
