THIRD-GRADE students in
Saem, Oregon sharpen their
wits by playing checkers with
“The King” — a hamster who
rarely loses. -

“My friend tied to explain
how he trained King bur it’s
too advanced for me to under-
stand,” says teacher Julie
Ketchem. “Alt I know is that
anytime King captures an
opponent’s piece, I take it off
the board for the hamster and
give him a treat.”

Classmates even stay late
after schvol to play against the
master, but the hamster wins
an average of nine games in
every 10.

“I won’t tell you how well
I did against King,” Kerchem
told reporters, “suffice it to say
that he’s very good indeed.”
