The rest of the class comes to help

Stuck up a tree, Sandry soon drew the attention of more pupils, who gathered around underneath her.

"How'd she get stuck like that?" one wondered.

"Look, she's ripped her trousers as well." another pointed out.

"I can still hear you!" Sandry exclaimed.

Miss Wood sent a pupil to get a ladder, they returned a few minutes later and the teacher climbed up to her.

"You really shouldn't have been climbing up here." was the first thing she said when she got level with Sandry.

"I realise that now." Sandry replied.

At that moment, there was a distant bell from the school building.

"Okay, that's break time, class." Miss Wood said, turning to the rest of the students.

"Wait, you're leaving me up here?!" Sandry gasped.

"No, no!" Miss Wood replied, "It's just that they don't have to hang around here."

The vast majority of the class did, however, choose to hang around to see how this situation played out. And they were soon joined by other pupils, using their break time to come and see what was happening.

"Looks like your blouse is snagged on one branch," Miss Wood said, looking at where Sandry was caught, "but a second one has snagged your trousers as well, that's why you're so stuck."

"Can you help me off them?"

"I don't think so, they're right in there and look quite sturdy. I think the only thing we can do is cut your clothes off them."
