Many children attended the school.

him from the graduating batch of students as his assistant, a fact the
students did not like it. On the last day of school every year, as soon as
the last bell rang, the boys ran up the flight of steps that led to the
Earth but the Devil always managed to pull one of the students into
his dungeon.

and as soon as it did they sprang up from their seats and rushed
towards the stairs. One boy named Tom was a slow runner and the
The devil knew this. But Tom was smart. He wore a very loose cloak and
as soon as the Devil grabbed it, the cloak came off and Tom escaped
and ran away from the school.
