deserve such marks!"
6 These comments angered North. Morn worked hard for his grades, and
deserved them. When North's own grades came on the screen his spirits
fell! Good grades in everything but math and language, as usual!
7 It was then that Morn stepped to the aide of his friend and what he

...in some ways I believe, smarter! Some day he will do great things
for you and our people. I will not let this small difficulty keep him
from his Destiny."
12 The Lord God nodded. "The Priests said you had
