Abstract
It’s Billy’s first day of school and he is excited to meet his new teacher, but is his teacher excited to meet Billy? His teacher, Mr. Booth, seems to dislike Billy from the start and reprimands him for wearing a dirty shirt. Billy tries to explain that he was digging a hole to China when he discover a dinosaur skull and he hadn’t had time to wash up without being late to school. Mr. Booth thinks his story is “highly unlikely” so Billy sets to show him that the best things in life often are! As he tells stories of two-headed cows, trips to the moon and incredible vacations his classmates are awed, but Mr. Booth is unconvinced. Finally, he sends Billy to the principle’s office, but as he goes Mr. Booth sees a picture of a two-headed cow fall out of his backpack forcing him to reconsider Billy’s stories.
