Magic word

John Doe is an average high school senior. In his last year of school he never had a girlfriend, he is not very good in Sports. But he is friendly. His grandfather always said that 'please' is a magic word and he will get anything if he just asks nicely.

For some reason this worked really well. People have given him money and did favors for him if he said please but he never wondered why.

Now he failed in his test before graduation and he ist going to the principal to argue to let him pass so he can get to a university. He is willing to beg and hopes that it will be enough.
