My niece’s first exam

Susmita just finished her first struggle with paper and mind - quarterly examinations. My sister, Susmita's mother, collected the progress report in the school. The report card showcased Susmita’s grades in all her subjects. My sister has enquired about the papers in which Susmita has comparatively gone down than her other papers. The teacher answered that Susmita refused to answer deliberately. “She knows all the answers”, said the teacher “and we are sure of it, but she never answered me during the day of those exams. The reason she said that she must be asked at the first. She wishes to be the first child to answer my question and not the last. But the fact is that her roll number happens to be at the end.” Hearing the words of the teacher my sister and all my family members had a roaring laughter admiring the creative thinking of Susmita.
