Hi,
When I was a student, I had a lesson "The Refund" in my English Reader. It was about a good-for-nothing bumpkin who goes back to his school asking for a refund of the tuition fee he had to pay when he was a student there, the reason being his belief that the education that was imparted there had made he a utterly useless fellow. The principal of the school asks him to appear for a small test and if he fails in this test, his tuition fee would be refunded. Now the aim of the student is to flunk the test and that of his teachers is to see that at no cost he flunks, lest they have to refund the tuition fee.
What follows is absolute anarchy. A total laugh riot.
Now, my problem is that I don't remember the author of this masterpiece.
Has anybody read this? Is it available anywhere on the net?
I would be grateful to anyone who can give me more information about this.
With regards,
Aditya Pratap V.
