The Story

Just as Mr Ware is tucking into his breakfast, the doorbell goes. It’s the headmaster’s wife. He’s got a cold and so won’t be in for work. Suddenly, Mr Ware gets the idea that is the kids were off school, he’d be able to keep it tidy.

He sets about trying to give them a cold. First by opening their classroom window and letting the sprinkler spray water into the room. Then he collects some of the headmasters germ laden air from his bedroom and sprays it into the classroom.

But it doesn’t work, instead Mr Ware starts sneezing and is sent home, left worrying about the mess the kids will create whilst he is off.
