It was the last day of 2nd grade and the teacher told Alfafa, Spanky, and Buckwheat to stay after school. The day ended and the 3 of them were informed that they were on the borderline of passing or failling. So a spelling contest would resume where whomever spelled the word correct would pass. The teacher explained thatthe word was dictate. Alfafa try it.."dactate" nope, you failed......Spanky, you try it..."dectate", nope you failed too. Buckwheat pondered for about 3 minutes and said..."dictate"....great Buckwheat, you passed, but for an extra bonus for the third grade, can you put that word in a sentence. Buckwheat thought for a few and said....................................................."Mrs. Walker, yesterday, my sister said my dictate good"
