"Because I get up late."
"Why don’t you go to bed early" asks the teacher.

"Now please give me your homework." says the teacher.
"I’m sorry, I can’t do it." says Mike.
"But why can’t you do it" asks the teacher.
"Because the first part of the homework is too easy. I don’t think I need to do it. The second part is not easy. I can’t work it out. So I can’t do it," says Mike again.
It’s the third time for Mike to be late.
