The prank unfolds

The playful incident began during a regular class when two students appeared to get into an argument. Curious, the professor stepped in to mediate the situation. The students cleverly revealed that their argument was about the grammatical correctness of two sentences: "You is sleep" versus "You can sleep." Without hesitation, the teacher answered that the correct sentence was "You can sleep."
