Joe thought for a moment, and said, “I have lucky blue socks.” “Blue socks?” the boys were surprised and asked together. Joe said that every time he wore his blue socks to school before a test, he got a good mark.

The next day Joe had a Chinese test. He was sad because he couldn’t find his blue socks. “Mom!” shouted Joe. “Where are my blue socks? I have a Chinese test today, and I need to wear them.”

 “Don’t be silly,” Joe’s mom said. “They need to be washed.”

 “When I wear them, I get a good grade.” Joe said.

 “Did you prepare for your test?” asked Mom.

 “Yes.”

 “Then don’t worried about it. Just do your best.” Mom encouraged.
