The Rat
Our photocopier has broken down twice this week. Why? A rat had gone in and gnawed at the wires. I am not kidding -it is true - they found the rat but it escaped. Thankfully I was not in the room when that happened. But today I had a shock - I came to school in the usual stupor of a monday morning and was talking to my colleague who sits next to me when she said "Don't look but there is a rat next to Chel's place and its not dead. EEEEEEK! And I had to see it - there it was stuck on a trap left by the cleaners and it was writhing. A male colleague came by and coward he was, quickly walked away from the room. Then another male colleague came to the rescue to clear the rat. I didnt stay to find out what he did - I left on the pretext of visiting the exam room. And it was gone by the time I got back. I hope no mooooooooore rats!!!!
