Children of all ages and sizes were running helter-skelter, screaming joyously, 'No school, no school. Tiger, tiger!' They were shouting and laughing and even enjoyed being scared. They seemed to welcome me.

In half sleep I heard the doors of the room being shut and bolted and locked. I didn't care. I slept. While I slept a great deal of consultation was going on. I learnt about it later through my Master, who was in the crowd - the crowd which had gathered after making sure that I had been properly locked up - and was watching. The headmaster seems to have remarked some days later, 'Never dreamt in my wildest mood that I'd have to yield my place to a tiger.' A wag had retorted, 'Might be one way of maintaining better discipline among the boys.

What probably caused the greatest excitement among the children?
