Frank was having a perfectly good week at school.
At recess, his friends dug a hole as big as a moon crater.
In class, they were learning about dinosaurs.
Bobby hadn't picked on him even once.
Yes, Frank was having a perfectly good week at school.
On Thursday, his teacher stayed home sick.A different teacher called the class roll."Francis ... is there a Francis Smith here?" he asked.
Of course Frank knew his name was Francis and that Frank was just his nickname.His parents called him Frank, and all his friends did, too.Bobby, though, who was new in school, yelled out to the whole class that Francis was a girl's name!
At recess, Bobby made fun of Frank."Francis is a girl's name, Francis is a girl's name," he called.
Frank didn't care what Bobby thought, but he didn't like to be made fun of.
At home, Frank asked his mother about his name.His mother explained that Francis with an "i" was usually a boy's name.Frances with an "e" was usually a girl's name.She was just about to say something else when the family dog, Dino, limped through the back door.
