The Story

It's the start of another school day and as he's ringing the bell he begins to wish the kids would go straight out of the school again. Suddenly an idea hits him. As the headmaster is starting his lesson the bell goes again. Headmaster goes to investigate and finds Mr Ware plotting to have the kids out of school for lunch by half nine. But Head is not impressed.

He insists an extra long session after break, and makes Mr Ware silence the bell. Mr Ware is unhappy with this and begins to plot others ways to get the kids out of the school. But on his travels he realises he never put the rubbish out, and as he goes to do it, he see the dustbin men pull away.

Rather then wait for next bin day, Mr Ware puts all of the rubbish into the boiler, but the overload causes the chimney to catch fire. Not only do the headmaster and the kids have to come out again before lunch, but the school gets dirtier because of all of the smoke.

Notes

Mr Ware tapes up the bell at the end of the Break. Headmaster is ringing a handbell, and there are some daggers pointing along the eyeline between Headmaster and Mr Ware.
