Have you ever heard of someone flunking their field trip? I mean field trips are supposed to be fun--they're not something you get graded on, right? Well, wait until you hear my story. You're not going to believe it. My class was going to spend the night on a replica of a tall-masted sailing ship. I was so psyched! Then I got my ship assignment -- Captain's Assistant. That's when the best field trip of the year turned into the worst field trip of the year.

My class was putting on a Multi-Cultural Day lunch and I was so excited-- no reading, no writing -- just cooking! I decided to make enchiladas. But when my teacher took a bite of her food, her face looked like it was on fire! One of the dishes was super spicy. Holy enchilada -- did I accidentally put in three cups of chili powder instead of 1/3? Couldn't be. Or could it?

It's report card day -- the most dreaded day of the year. And when Hank gets his grades, they're his worst nightmare come true; a D in every subject. This is not going to make his parents happy. This will certainly get him grounded for life. Hank needs help,  fast!

Psst! Wanna hear a secret? I play Ping-Pong. And I just don't play, I'm a regular Ping-Pong Wizard! Look at me world. I'm pinging and ponging! Only try to keep it a secret, okay?
