Yuri was in his first year at university, studying History. He was rather a lazy student, and he tended to avoid working
whenever he could. In the middle of the semester, his history professor gave out an assignment, due in two weeks. Yuri
intended doing the assignment, but he postponed to write it for a week. The following week, he forgot to do it. The night
before the assignment was due, he suddenly remembered it, and rushed to the library. He tried reads as much as possible
on the topic, but there wasn't enough time. Yuri considered asking for more time to do his paper, but the History professor
was known to be very tough on students, so finally he decided to cheating and copy his paper from somewhere else. He
found an old article on the same topic, and quickly typed it out. The next day, he submitted the paper.
The following week, he was alarmed seeing the professor approaching him, looking angry.
"Is this your own work, or did you copy it?" asked the professor. Yuri denied copying the paper.
"If you expect me to believe that, you must be very stupid," said the professor. "Every word is taken from an article I
wrote myself five years ago. Did you really think I would forget to write it?"
