The boy who asked for more

 

Paul Muggins, a Greyfriars schoolboy, has been told by his father, “The boy who has the courage to ask for more will rise in this world.” Perhaps, he shouldn’t have taken his father’s words to heart when he had an encounter with the headmaster. This story is from the Greyfriars Herald, a supplement to the Magnet story paper. It is supposedly written by a member of the Remove form, hence the eccentric spelling.


As published in the Magnet, 15 March 1924.
