And the lesson was over!

Carl was packing his things away when Professor Wayland mentioned the Extra Credit opportunity. He paused and listened, as he was interested to do anything outside of lessons related to caring for creatures.

... Infant creatures! The badger grinned excitedly. He loved animals, but baby animals were even more lovable. They could even get to take them home in the summer! There was no second thought about this. He looked through the list of creatures on the blackboard, then grabbed a form. Choosing only three creatures was a difficult task, but he took into consideration his abilities and responsibilities into his decision.

When he was done, Carl put the form in the box next to the blackboard. Smiling, he said to the Professor, "Thank you for the lesson, Professor Wayland!" Then, he took his belongings and walked off happily.
