What trouble have the Kang brothers- Ting, Pan, and Kuai gotten into now? This humorous story provides an imaginative explanation of how paper may have been invented. When the boys are caught playing at school, the teacher gives them the usual punishment -- writing a note to Mama and Papa on their hands and demanding that they hold them up for everyone to see. Afraid that they will be the laughingstock of the entire village, the boys wish they could invent something for the teacher to write on besides their hands - something small and private. Can the creative Kangs concoct a formula for what just may become a very useful school supply?
