One day， Tom decided to play a trick on some people in his town. He was carrying a long rope. He stopped a man on the road.

Tom said， “Could you help me， please？” He explained that he was doing a project for school. He said that he was trying to measure the building， and he needed some help. Tom asked him to hold one end of the rope. “It's just for a few minutes.” he said. The man was glad to help the young boy. He held the rope in his hand. Then Tom went around the corner.

Tom stopped a woman. He said that he was doing a project， and wanted to measure the building. He asked her to hold the rope， too. “Yes， certainly，” she said. She was glad to help the boy. She held the rope in her hand. Then Tom went away and left the two people.

The man and the woman could not see each other. They held the rope and waited for Tom. But Tom hid behind a wall and watched. He told his friend Ben. They both laughed at the two people. “They are very silly！” said Tom.

Then Tom's Aunt Polly came up behind them. The boys didn't see her coming. “You naughty boys！” she said. She smacked Tom and sent him home.
