Reading skills

The principal is seated in his office. He is looking at some papers.

(A bearded man, carelessly dressed, enters the room. He is energetic and decided. )

Wasserkopf : How do you do?

Principal : Who are you? And who gave you the permission to enter the principal’s room?

Wasserkopf : What the hell ...! Your class records will show I have got the right to come

here.

Principal : The class records? How so?

Wasserkopf : Mr. Principal, if you please, I am Herr Wasserkopf. Well, Mr Principal, I was a

student in this school eighteen years ago.

Principal : Oh, were you? Well, what do you want now? A certificate?

Wasserkopf : Since, I am bringing back the leaving certificate you gave me I suppose. I can
get along without another one. No, that isn’t why I came here.

Principal : Well?

Wasserkopf : As a former pupil of this school. I want you to refund the tuition fees that

were paid to you for my education eighteen years ago.

Principal : I am not sure I understand.

Wasserkopf : Dammit. I want my tuition fees back. Is that plain enough?

Principal : Why do you want it back?
