I Pledge allegiance to the flag, of the United
States of America and to the republic for which
it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.
Class, today we will continue working on our play
scripts.
3
I have no idea, but I have been plugging my nose
since I came into class!
Yea, its awful! Where do you think its coming
from?
Maybe its Mrs. Burke!
Michelle, do you smell that?
4
Cassie, do you smell that? Its awful!
Thank goodness theres only 5 minutes left in
class!
Great! Hopefully it wont be in our next class!
I know. I can hardly focus on my work!
I sure hope not!
5
Class, today we will begin learning about
different ecosystems.

Oh my gosh! Cassie, it still smells terrible!
How is this possible?
Alright, then thats our list. Now we need to
get close to all of them and figure out whos the
smelly one.
Sounds perfect!
It must be someone from our homeroom class.
Okay, well theres Peter, Pam, Michelle and
Frank.
Youre right. Lets try to narrow it down.

Certainly! Here you go.
Mr. Lewis, may I please borrow a pen?
9
I know. Well maybe we can try again in our next
class.
This is so weird. I just dont understand it.
It has to be one of them!
Hmm. I didnt notice either of them being
terribly smelly.
Hopefully!
10
I dont know, but its terrible!
Gross! What is that smell?
I know. I think someone must have some bad gas!
Haha! Thats exactly what I was thinking!
11
Yuckwhat is that?
Whatever it is, I do NOT like it!
12
Cassie, I just dont get it. Literally
everywhere I have been today, people have been
talking about the smell. Im beginning to feel
like its me or something.
Im sure its just your imagination. I mean it
couldnt be you, could it?
13
Well, I guess if we cant get rid of it, we can
try to make it a little better.
Gosh, I feel like someone is trying to punish us.
How could anything smell this bad all day long?
I know. Maybe its an eighth grade prank or
something!

Yea, I guess it does!
Youre just going to have to keep doing that for
the rest of the day!
Good idea! That does make it a little better.
16
Cassie, I have a confession to make.
Well, Ive been thinking about it all day, and I
finally figured it out.
I really am the person that smells.
What is it?
How can that even be possible?
17
When I woke up this morning, there was this very
potent smell. My mom had been cooking chili.
Who knows. But, I remember thinking this morning
that the smell was really strong. It must be
from that!
Why was your mom cooking chili at 6am?
18
Dont laugh! Ive been so embarrassed about this
all day. I have even been going around spraying
my cucumber melon body splash everywhere I go to
try to hide the smell. This is the worst day of
my life!
So thats how this all started? Your mom made
you the smelly kid in class?
Its not that bad. Im sure people dont even
know its you.
It doesnt matter. I know and it has just been
so awful!
19
Good luck getting rid of the smell! Ill see you
tomorrow.
FINALLY! I thought this day would never end.
Okay, see you! Thanks for everything!
20
MOM! You will never believe what a terrible day
I had today, and its all YOUR fault!
It was the chili you made this morning!
Honey, Im sure it wasnt that bad. How is it my
fault?
Sweetheart, Im sorry! I cant even believe that
happened! But, we have to leave now to go pick
up Jane.
YOU MADE ME SMELL!
Excuse me?
21
Oh look, theres Jane. Maybe her day was better
than mine!
22
Mom! you are NEVER going to believe what happened
to me today!
23
Oh, I think I have a pretty good idea, and just
to save you some time, Im sorry!
