Readin' And Writin'

Ferienende für die kleinen Strolche: Brisbane legt es darauf an, sofort aus der Schule zu fliegen, was ihm gelingt, als er einen Esel ins Klassenzimmer lockt.

It's the first day of school, and Brisbane is reminded by his mom that if he does well, he'll grow up to be president. He'd rather be a streetcar conductor, actually. The local blacksmith tells him a story about a boy who got expelled for playing pranks on the teacher, and this suits Brisbane just fine. He proceeds to devise any number of bad deeds, culminating in bringing a mule into the classroom. Sure enough, he's sent away by Miss Crabtree. What he didn't consider was that he'd have to explain all of this to Mom.
