Reading Comprehension 6 form 2 term A Beautiful Test Result

It was Friday and Tony had a very special reason for not going to school. On last Friday of every month his Maths teacher Mr. Randal gives a test for his students. If a student did not do well in his special tests, Mr. Randal told the student to stay after the lessons. Last evening Tony spent most of his time glued to his computer games. So he lied to his mother he had some stomachache and stayed at home. Feeling very pleased with himself, Tony watched TV. By 11 o'clock, he switched on his computer. After an hour, his computer games lost their excitement. By 2 o'clock, he started studying.

Next Monday, Tony's friends told him that on Friday Mr. Randal had taken them to Aircraft Museum where they had seen fighter aircrafts, lots of weapons and machinery. Tony felt very sorry for himself. He wanted to become a fighter pilot. Tony went to Mr. Randal and apologized for his absence. Mr. Randal forgave him. That evening, the boy surprised his mother with a beautiful test result.
