Overview

Ege was very excited about showing the new telescope he made at home to the whole class.

However, as always The Troublesome Four managed to bother them and ruin their day. They spoiled the excitement of the whole class about Ege’s new telescope. Furthermore, they made fun of toothy Ceylan by putting a carrot on her desk. Ege made an excellent plan to deal with The Troublesome Four who never do their home works and always cheat in the exams… Would the whole class be able to get together and bring the Troublesome Four on their knees?
