Paul is a schoolboy and life is not easy for such a schoolboy. No one who isnt a schoolboy can imagine, how difficult it is to be a pupil. The alarm clock rings at seven. In the school, the bell rings at eight. Between alarm clock and bell, Paul has to go to school where a lot of strange words meet him. Why not stay in bed today, Paul thinks.
