Patrick never did homework. "Too boring," he said. He played baseball and basketball instead. His teachers told him, "Patrick! Do your homework, or you can't a thing." And it's true. Sometimes he did feel like a fool. But what could he do? He hated homework.One day, Patrick's cat was playing with a little "doll". He found it wasn't a doll at all, but a man of the smallest size. The man called, "Save me! Don't give me back to that cat. I have . I will help you if you save me!"
Patrick couldn't believe how he was! Here was the answer to all of his problems. So he said, "Only if you do all my homework till the end of the term. If you do a good enough job, I can even get A's."
The little elf (精灵) kicked his legs and rubbed (搓) his hands. "All right. I'll do it."
And true to his words, that little elf began to do Patrick's homework. Sometimes he what to do and he needed help. "Help me! Help me!" he'd say. And Patrick would have to help — in whatever way.
"What does this word mean?" the elf cried while he was reading Patrick's homework. "Get me a dictionary. No, what's even better, the word and explain it to me."
