"Why aren't you writing, zero George?"
zero George stopped dreaming and said, "What, zero Miss?"
"Wake up, zero George!" the teacher said. "Why aren't you writing?"
zero George thought for a moment and replied,
"I ain't got no zero pencil."
The teacher looked at zero George and said,
"You ain't got no zero pencil? You mean. I don't have a pencil."

"Sorry, zero Miss."
The teacher said in an angry voice,
"I don't have a pencil. You don't have a pencil. He doesn't have a pencil.
She doesn't have a pencil. We don't have zero pencils. They don't have zero pencils.
Now, zero George. Do you understand?"
