Too much noise in class

（单词翻译:单击）

    It was the first day of school.
    As the principal made his rounds, he heard a terriblecommotion coming from one of the classrooms.
    He rushed in and spotted¹ one boy, taller than the others, who seemed to be making the most noise.
    He seized the lad, dragged him to the hall, and told him to wait there until he was excused.
    Returning to the classroom, the principal restored order and lectured the class for half an hour about the importance of good behavior.
    "Now," he said, "are there any questions?"One girl stood up timidly. " Please sir," she asked, "May we have our teacher back?"
