On a French exam two years ago, a student, Ahmed Nabil, was tasked with providing the names of different animals in the paper. However, instead of penning down an answer in line with the question, he opted to include Cristiano Ronaldo, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, in one of his answers.
According to Nabil, he couldn't remember the French word for a goat, so he decided to do something creative and make his mates laugh instead of leaving the section empty.
Unfortunately, Nabil's creative approach didn't quite pay off, as he failed the exam by a single mark. The incident has sparked a mix of amusement and sympathy for the young student.
