Writing prompt #11 part 2

Prompt: Include all the following words in a story: biology, class card, foreign student, leaf, blood sample.

The foreign student approached the biology teacher.
 "Vaat ees zis?" he asked, not trying to mask his accent.
The teacher looked at him, dumbfounded. "It is a leaf."
"A leeef?" he asked.
"Yes. From a tree." The teacher pointed to a tree outside the window.
"Ahh, oh-kay," he said and sat back down, even though he didn't quite understand.
He played with the leaf under the microscope, following the cues of others in his class. After fifteen minutes, he approached the teacher's desk again.
"Ehnd, vaat ees zis?" he asked.
"It is a blood sample," said the teacher.
"But I no understaaand," he said.
"It is a drop of blood from an animal," the teacher explained.
"Ah, oh-kay," he said and sat back down, understanding perfectly well.
He turned to the student next to him, picked up the probe, and stabbed her in the arm until blood came gushing out. To the teacher's appall, he beamed.
"Aye undah-stahnd. Blood!" he exclaimed with joy.
The teacher rushed over to the geyser that was the little girl. "Take this class card and go to the principal's office immediately!"
