English Original
It is a sweltering June day. Josie is bored in school, longing instead for the beach and the tide.
She fidgets in her seat, unable to stop talking.
While Mr. Rolla writes on the board, Josie gets up to whisper to a close friend. Hearing the noise, Mr. Rolla says, "Josie, sit down and be quiet." Josie complies, but only briefly. Soon, she's up again, talking to another classmate.
"Sit down and be quiet," Mr. Rolla repeats, growing increasingly annoyed. Josie continues her chatter.
"Alright," Mr. Rolla says, finally furious. "If you want to talk so much, come to the front of the class and be the teacher."
"All right," Josie agrees. She marches to the front and announces, "Quiet, everyone. I am the new teacher, and I say class is dismissed."

六月的一天，天气酷热难耐。乔茜在学校里感到十分无聊，心里只想着海滩和潮汐。
她在座位上坐立不安，不停地说话。
当罗勒老师在黑板上写字时，乔茜站起来和一个好朋友窃窃私语。听到动静，罗勒老师说：“乔茜，坐下，保持安静。”乔茜照做了，但只安静了一会儿。很快，她又站起来和另一个同学说起话来。
“坐下，安静点，”罗勒老师重复道，越来越恼火。乔茜却继续说个不停。
“好吧，”罗勒老师终于愤怒地说道，“既然你这么想说话，那就到教室前面来当老师吧。”
“好的，”乔茜同意了。她走到教室前面宣布：“大家安静。我是新老师，现在我宣布下课。”
