My Chinee teacher walked into the claroom one morning， and intead of taking out ome book， he only held an egg in her right hand.
With a big mile on her face， he looked into our urpried eye and walked up to her dek. She put down the egg， and it rolled on the dek.
She looked at u with teaing eye and aked， “What are we going to do with thi， cla？ Gue！”looked at the egg， and cratched my head. “What are we doing with a funny egg？ Eat it？ Not me， I don’t like to eat egg. ” I told myelf.
“Helen， what do you think we are going to do？” The teacher aked me.
“Er…， I uppoe you will give the egg to a clamate to eat.”“ No， I’m going to challenge you to tand the egg up on it tip. Now， who want the firt try？”
To tand the egg up on it tip？ How？
A big boy had the firt try. He carefully picked the egg up and tood it up on the dek. But a oon a he took hi finger off the egg， it fell down and tumbled around. He tried ome more time， but each time the egg came rolling down. He went back to hi eat， looking rather ditreed.
“Never mind， who want another try？” The teacher aked. “I will.” aid Joe， a boy who wa often full of trick. A he went up to the teacher’ dek， he took out a tube of paper glue from hi pocket， and tarted to tick the egg to the dek. Several clamate giggled， but we watched with interet. Unfortunately， the paper glue wa not ueful， and the egg rolled like a tumbler a if it wa laughing， and it couldn’t help tumbling back and forth. We burt into laughter. The boy made a face at the egg， and had to give up.WWw.hAOZuowEn.com
“I ay， why don’t girl have a try？ It eem quite interet-ing. ”
“OK， I’ll have a try. ” Oh， it wa my-friend， Elizabeth， a very clever girl.
She examined the egg from “head ”to “foot”， and melled it. Suddenly， he eized the tiny pointing end of the egg and PRESSED it againt the dek. With a crip little ound， the egg huk of the tiny end cracked a little， but the egg—tood right up！ We all opened our mouth with atonihment， unbelieving our ？eye. What a ight it wa—an egg， tanding up firmly on it tip！ We began to clap our hand loudly.
“Congratulation to you！ What a nice job you have done！ Would you tell u how you tood the egg up？ ”The teacher wa mightily pleaed. “Ye， ye， tell u pleae！” We all demanded.
“Oh， that’ eay， I found the egg wa boiled， o when I preed it againt the dek， it didn’t break and let the egg white and yolk flow out. In fact， the egg did crack a little， but that didn’t matter， after all， it tood. ”
“Thank you！ That wa a fine explanation！ Now attention， everyone. Would you like to write down thi experience a today’ compoition？” So we did， and wrote excellent paper.
What an intereting leon it wa！
