Margaret Didn't Get the Grades She Deserved

Margaret intended to win a scholarship by her good grades. She worked hard in her History class and got 95 on each examination and at the end of the semester the professor gave her 70 because Margaret and her friend had teased him. It cost her the scholarship and she decided to switch majors, from History to Greek.
