Ans:- The maths professor of Anee was constantly irritated by her talkativeness. For talking in the class he gave her extra homework as punishment.

The professor finds it amusing he gave her another topic after she did not change her nature. The topic is An incorrigible chatterbox which refers to a habit that is difficult to change. To keep an eye on her, He gave her another topic to write, “This topic is ‘Quack, Quack, Quack, Said Mistress Chatterbox’.” Everyone in the class laughed, including Anne. Anne decided to write something new and extra this time, she wrote the essay in the form of a poem with the help of her friend Sanne. The poem is about a mother duck and a father swan with three baby ducklings who were bitten to death by the father because they quacked too much. Luckily, Mr Keesing took the joke the right way. Since then Anne has been allowed to talk and hasn’t been assigned any extra homework.

Ans:- Anne thought of this saying on one of those days when she was feeling a little depressed and was sitting at home with her chin in her hands, bored and listless, wondering whether to stay in or go out.
