the teacher comes to the class, he wound stand in front of the class and throw us a riddle. His
favourite riddle is the one which asks, “Do you know why…?”. Actually he never gives us time to
answer. He would shout out the answer almost immidiately, and the class would brust out with
laughter. Even when David is called upon to answer a question by a teacher, his answer often contains
a joke or a remark which makes us laugh. Usually, because his joke are funny, the teacher would
laugh along with us.
David also likes to organize outings and gatherings. Unlike some people who usually invite
certain groups of these functions, davis often organizes them on the class basis. Once he organized a
class outing to the zoo. Towards the end of the visit, to show our apprepriation, David had arranged a
special treat for our class teacher who was accompanying us. It turned out that he had reserved for her

been trained to sit quietly with human visitors. We all, including the teacher, were very happy and had
a good laugh.
