Mr. Ratburn announces to the class that they will have a quiz. While Mr. Ratburn was reading the word problem, George dazes off and imagines that he is sitting on clouds with two crows. Mr. Ratburn interrupts his daydream by saying "Well George, I'm still waiting for an answer." He answers "1" because that was the number on Binky's shirt. Mr. Ratburn said that was correct, and asked him to tell the class how he got that answer. He said he just guessed.

The next day at school Mr. Ratburn asked George if he had ever been tested for dyslexia, because Mr. Ratburn had a hard time reading his paper. He gets worried about it, but Mr. Ratburn tells him that it is not dangerous.
