“Tell me what you learned yesterday,” said the Warden. “Surely you can remember that.”
Zero said nothing. Mr. Pendanski laughed.
He picked up a shovel and said, “You might as well try to teach this shovel to read! It’s got more brains than Zero.”
“The ‘at’ sound,” said Zero.
“The ‘at’ sound,” repeated the Warden. “Well then, tell me, what does c-a-t spell?”
Zero glanced around uneasily. Stanley knew he knew the answer.
Zero just didn’t like answering questions. “Cat,” Zero said. Mr. Pendanski clapped his hands.
“Bravo! Bravo! The boy’s a genius!”
“F-a-t?” asked the Warden.
Zero thought a moment. Stanley hadn’t taught him the “f” sound yet.
“Eff,” Zero whispered. “Eff-at. Fat.”
“How about h-a-t?” asked the Warden. Stanley hadn’t taught him the “h” sound either.
