The Story

In today's history lesson, the teachers discover that they used to put a ball and chain on convicts to restrict them. So the headmaster orders fifty sets as soon as possible. Soon they're fitting them to the students. But there's a bit of a problem, the balls make too much noise as they come down the stairs. When headmaster looks to see what the noise is, he trips over one of the chains.

Next the students start using the balls as conkers, but it "accidentally" thumps the headmaster in the stomach. The head decides that it would be safer for the students to run free.
