全校最差的班級要數(shù)207班了！上課了，教室里卻依舊鬧個不停：紙團兒粘到了天花板上，紙飛機在空中飛來飛去，孩子們竊竊私語，擠眉弄眼……于是，第二天，他們的那個聲音甜美、性格溫柔的尼爾森老師不見了！一個粗粗的嗓音從遠(yuǎn)處傳來，走進教室的是可怕的斯旺普老師。207班的孩子們多么想念他們的尼爾森老師呀。為什么尼爾森老師不見了？她到底去哪兒了？她還會回來嗎？

The kids in Room 207 were misbehaving again.

They were the worst-behaved class in the whole school.

“Now settle down，” said Miss Nelson in a sweet voice.

But the class would not settle down. They whispered and giggled and made faces.

And they always refused to do their lessons.

“Something will have to be done，” said Miss Nelson.

The next morning Miss Nelson did not come to school.

“Wow！” yelled the kids. “Today let’s be just terrible！”

“Not so fast！” hissed an unpleasant voice.

A woman in an ugly black dress stood before them.

“I am your new teacher， Miss Viola Swamp.”

They could see that Miss Swamp was a real witch.

Right away she put them to work.

And she loaded them down with homework.

“Keep your mouths shut，” said Miss Swamp.

“Sit perfectly still，” said Miss Swamp.

“And if you misbehave， you’ll be sorry，” said Miss Swamp.

The kids missed Miss Nelson！ “Maybe we should try to find her，” they said.

Some of them went to the police.

Detective Mc Smogg listened to their story.

“Hmmmm，” he said，“Hmmm.”

“I think Miss Nelson is missing.”

Other kids went to Miss Nelson’s house. They saw the wicked Miss Swamp coming up the street. They got away just in time.

Maybe something terrible happened to Miss Nelson！

“Maybe she was gobbled up by a shark！”

“Maybe Miss Nelson went to Mars！”

It seemed that Miss Nelson was never coming back.

“Hello， children，” someone said in a sweet voice.

It was Miss Nelson！

“Did you miss me？” she asked.

“We certainly did！” cried all the kids.

“Where were you？”

“That’s my little secret，” said Miss Nelson.

During story hour no one was rude or silly.

“What brought about this lovely change？” Miss Nelson asked.

“That’s our little secret，” said the kids.
