Mary was an excellent pupil from the first day she entered school. She was known to all the teachers as "the exceptionally bright girl." She was the envy of many children who openly admitted that they would like to be like her. At home, she was placed on a pedestal," nothing was ever denied to her. The children expected and accepted that Mary's work was always perfect. One can imagine the shock everyone experienced when one day Mary flew into a rage when she missed three words in a spelling test, and her results were worse than some others'. First Mary tore up her paper, then she proceeded to tear up her spelling book. She screamed that the others cheated, that she was always the best and always will be.
