उत्तर
Anne was very good at writing. Her Maths teacher, Mr. Keesing, was annoyed because she talked too much in class. To punish her, he gave her an essay titled “A Chatterbox.” Anne wrote that talking was a natural trait for girls and that she would try to control it, but she could not promise complete success. Instead of getting angry, Mr. Keesing laughed and gave her another essay, “An Incorrigible Chatterbox.”
Later, he asked her to write on “Quack, Quack, Quack,” said Mistress Chatterbox. Anne wrote a funny poem about a mother duck and a father swan who punished their ducklings for quacking too much. Mr. Keesing was impressed and read her poem in other classes. After that, he allowed Anne to talk and stopped giving her extra homework. This incident shows her creativity, humor, and strong writing skills.
