Study or Flunk

Kim bumps into her classmate, Pak. (K=Kim; P=Pak)
K : What's the matter, Pak? You look depressed. Did someone just die or what?
P : Well, someone is going to soon.
K : Oh, my God! Really? Who is it?
P : Me. I flunked the exam and my dad's going to kill me.
K : How come you flunked? I thought you did everything the fortuneteller told you to do.
P : I thought so, too. I was sure of passing. That's why I went to see him this morning.
K : Well, what did he say?
P : He said I flunked because I did everything very well except that I forgot one thing.
K : What's that?
P : I didn't study!

小琴偶然遇见她的同学帕克。
小琴：帕克, 怎么回事？你看起来很沮丧。是不是有人刚死了还是什么？
帕克：呃, 有人就快死了。
小琴：哦, 我的天啊！真的吗？是谁？
帕克：是我。这次考试我考砸了, 我老爸会宰了我。
小琴：你怎么会考砸呢？我以为你都照算命先生叫你做的去做了。
帕克：我也是这么想。我有把握会通过考试的。这就是为什么我今天早上去找他的原因。
小琴：那他说什么呢？
帕克：他说我考砸了是因为我每件事都做得很好, 只忘记一件事。
小琴：什么事？
帕克：我没念书。
