Who, Sir? Me, Sir?
K. M. Peyton
It was Sam Sylvester, a teacher at Hawkwood School, who started the trouble. Just along the road from
Hawkwood there was another school called Greycoats. Parents paid a lot of money to send their children to
Greycoats, and the children were clean and tidy, wore expensive clothes, and did well in examinations.
At Hawkwood the parents did not pay any money and the children were much better at fighting than passing
examinations. They were happy about that. Passing examinations meant hard work, and who wanted to study
every evening?
But Sam Sylvester was worried about the difference between the two schools. He wanted Hawkwood to be as
good as Greycoats, and he was always telling his class to work harder, to try and make a better life for
themselves.
That's the trouble with you lot, he said to his class one day. You don't care about anything.( ) I want you to
have ambition. To do things. To want things.( )

But Mr Sylvester's class don't really know what they want except for one boy who wants to go to a football
match and one girl who wants to ride a horse in the Olympic Games.
So Mr Sylvester devises a plan to show the children at Hawkwood that they can have the same ambitions as
the boys and girls at Greycoats.
On Monday morning Sam's class listened with open mouths as Sam told them his news.
Now listen carefully, because this is very important. I want to show everybody that Hawkwood School is just
as good as Greycoats. Some people think that my plan is impossible, but I know we can do it. We're going to
enter a tetrathlon * team against the Greatcoat's team, and I've promised we will beat them. The competition is
next summer so we have got almost a year to get ready. It just needs hard work. And four people in the team −
Sam said the parents liked the idea.
*tetrathlon = running, swimming, shooting and riding
