SHORT STORY 1 - Exam & Potato



The mistake of the similarities

It's a difficult day. Today is the Cambridge exam. I feel nervous. Very nervous. I'm delirious and I'm hungry. I have a great hunger for all kinds of potatoes with gravy and even raw potatoes. I have to concentrate, but I can not. Hunger is superior to me.  

Teacher arrives. A teacher like a potato, the same form, I'm sure. He presents himself, he says the rules, he gives us the exams and I start writing.  
Halfway through the exam I raise my hand to ask a question and he throw me out the exam offended.




Reason? With the nerves, I called him “Mr. Potato”.
