“Today we’re going to have a pop quiz,” said Mr. Vargas. “I’m going to share an animal fact. Then, you’ll tell me which animal I’m talking about. If you get all of them right, we’ll have a class pizza party!”​

The kids in Mr. Vargas’s class were excited. This pop quiz didn’t sound too hard! They were sure they could guess all the animals correctly.​​

Mr. Vargas started with the first question. “Which animal looks white but has black skin?”​

“A polar bear!” shouted the class.​

“And which animal has square poop?” ​

“A wombat!”​

“Which animal burps when it’s happy?” asked Mr. Vargas. ​

“James,” Eric joked. James smiled. ​

“That’s true,” said James. “But also, a gorilla!”​

“Which animal has 3 hearts?”​

“An octopus,” answered Anita.​

“Last question,” said Mr. Vargas. “Which bird can fly backward?” ​

“A penguin?” guessed Rex.​​

“No,” said Amber. “They don’t fly at all.”

“How about an eagle?” asked James.​

“Or a duck?” suggested Eric.​

“I know!” said Anita. “I just saw one at my grandma’s house over the weekend. It’s a hummingbird!”​

​“It is!” said Mr. Vargas. “Pizza for everyone!”​

​“Let’s have a pop quiz every day!” said Amber. ​

“Burp!” said James.
