Just a normal, tedious english lesson with the same usual routine... the setting for a disaster!
He took a seat in his larger, plumper, aquamarine chair and settled in, prepared for another lesson with 8C. This would be a long lesson. Not soon after he had positioned himself ready to begin he fell..... right through the seat, ending up legs up, bum down and a scarlet, embarrassed face followed by roars of laughter.
He got up, replaced the bottom of the seat that had fallen completely off, promised himself to never sit again on that seat. After calming the class, beginning his lesson and getting over the first shock - he had forgotten completely of the horror, sat down on that same, broken chair....!
All the pupils watched as he lowered himself to the seat.
And AGAIN, fell right through to an outburst of screaming and floods of tears. Legs up bum down, tis was beginning to become a routine for 8C's english teacher.
In both utter embarrassment and rage, hoisted up the chair and stormed to the corner to the classroom where he left the chair and returned to standing for the rest of the lesson.
