Still sleepy after waking up, I half-closed my eyes and looked towards the source of the sound. It was coming from the old desk. There was a stuffed tiger on it.

A toy manufacturer was hoping to cash in on the cute stuffed animals, but the overly avant-garde idea of combining animals with internal organs was undeniably poorly received.

	After lunch break, the afternoon class was physical education. This time, it was softball. Our team's pitcher was terrible, giving up eight hits in a row.
