The Attraction of the Map & What Grade

The Attraction of the Map
    Mr. Smith taught English at a school. At the beginning of his lesson, he liked to have one of his students give a report on any subject. When it was Jack's turn, he told his audience about his elder brother who was a local worker. But during the report, his eyes were staring at the world map on the wall all the time. Mr. Smith knew that Jack didn't look at the audience because he was nervous. He said to Jack jokingly, "We can see you miss your brother very much. But is he OK, now in South America?"

What Grade
    Kristin, my 17-year-old niece, had just gotten her driver's license and offered to take her mom's car to the gas station. She pulled up to the full-service pumps, and the attendant asked,"What grade, miss?"
    "Eleventh!" Krestin replied.
