Caught Out!

As soon as the teacher announced that the annual exams would be next week, Molly mongoose and Wally wolf frowned.

"Wally, what will happen now? I don't know anything," Molly said in a shaky tone while returning from school.

"Molly, you are acting as if I am Albert Einstein, and I know everything. I am blank like a slate," Wally growled angrily.

"I know that you are as scared as me, but think about how we will pass the exam."

"What is there to think about? Like always, we will copy the answers from Darry. What else can we do?" Wally laughed.

"No, I will not copy from Darry. Don't you remember how we just scraped through the last exam? He doesn't know anything; he's terrible at his studies."

"Yes, you're right. He doesn't even know that the rose is not our national flower."

"Exactly! Our national flower is the marigold," Molly bragged.

"Riley!"

"What about Riley?"

"This time, we will copy from Riley rat," said Wally.

Molly was stunned. She asked, "Will Riley let us copy from her?"

"Molly, once I scare her, she will not dare deny us. Look! Riley is here. Let's go catch her."

As soon as Wally said this, he and Molly stopped Riley.

"Riley, we need your help," Wally said.

"Yes, yes, tell me. What kind of help do you want? I am always ready to help anyone," Riley said.

"Riley, you have to tell us answers for only 10 questions every day."

"I will tell you those, Molly, but first, tell me the questions."

"We will get to know the questions only when we get the exam papers."
