When it came to math, Patrick was out of luck. "What are times tables?" the elf shouted . "We elves never need that. Here, sit down beside me and guide me."Elves knew nothing of human history.

In fact, every day in every way, Patrick was working than ever and staying up late. He never felt so tired.
Finally, the last day of school arrived and the elf was free to go. As there was no more homework, he quietly ran out of the back door.
Patrick got his A's; his were amazed; his teachers smiled and were full of praise (赞扬). And his parents? They wondered what had happened to Patrick.
You see, in the end, Patrick still thought all his homework by the tiny man. But I'll share a secret, just between you and me. It wasn't the elf; Patrick did it himself!
