　　In the lunchroom Pam met Carol and said, "I've got something to tell you about Jimmy." As she started to tell Carol about Jimmy's dad, several other classmates stopped to listen Pam felt bad telling what she had heard but she went on anyway.
　　After school, Pam saw some of her classmate's talking to Jimmy. "Where does your dad work?" one of the boys asked. Jimmy's face turned red. She left without answering.
