Ans- The speaker thought so because he had seen Jerome dadian  eating ice cream the day he got one hundred for maths.

Let's continue:

It all started with the ice-cream man, Mr Peppi. He had a van which he parked outside the school. He sold ice cream, all different types. He had every flavour there is. He didn't like me very much. He told me once, "You think you are smart. One day you will be too smart"

I just laughed and walked off. I knew he wouldn't do anything. He was too soft-hearted. He was always giving free ice cream to kids who had no money. He felt sorry for poor people.

There were a lot of stories going round about that ice cream. People said that it was good for you. Some kids said that it made you better when you were sick. One of the teachers called it 'happy ice cream". didn't believe it; it never made me happy. eppi All the same, there was something strange about it. There was a kid at school who had a long nose. When he blew it you could hear it a mile away. Peppi felt sorry for him. He gave him a small green ice cream every morning, for nothing.

You won't believe what happened. His nose began to grow smaller. Every day it grew a bit smaller. In the end it was just a normal nose. When it was the right size, Peppi stopped giving him the green ice creams. He gave a purple ice cream to a boy with pimples, and his pimples were cured!

I made up my mind to put a stop to this ice cream business. Jerome Dadian had been eating ice cream the day he got one hundred for Maths. It must have been the ice cream making him smart. wasn't going to have anyone doing as well as me. I was the smartest kid in school and that's the way I wanted it to stay. wanted to get a look inside that ice cream van to find out what was going on.
