Peter’s father wants to know how his son is getting along in school. One day he asks, “Peter, how are you getting along in school? What is your place in the class?” “Number twenty-one.” “And how many students are there in your class?” “Twenty-one, Father.”
Some weeks pass. One day Peter brings home his test paper.
“What’s your place in the class now?”
“Number twenty now.”
“Good. Then you are one place ahead.”
“No, Father. One of the students left the class. His family goes to another town.”
