Willy Nilly
He would have been in class 5 then, just when they were being introduced to the Geometry box.. Every one in class had to have one , some brought in brand new boxes and others worn-out hand me downs. Long before we knew what we had to do with those instruments, our hero Willy started to apply science to daily living. He slit the eraser in two and plugged the nostrils of his bench mate with them...
The poor fellow was struggling to breathe and Willy wanting to help, again went into action , reached for the divider and stuck it on to the eraser in his blocked nose and lunged the pieces of rubber out and in the process tore the delicate skin on the nostrils.
There was a bloody mess...and long before willy realised what was happening, both boys were whisked away to safety...
There was a meeting where both pairs of parents discussed at length how naughty Willy was and how he needs to calm down and how the teachers need to chain him and tie him to a pole...before he "attacks" the next child...
Willy does not remember anything beyond this as he was whacked and out cold, and probably gounded for what seemed the rest of his life...
