An elementary school teacher teaches his pupils that, in order to be a good Englishman, you have to know how to never compromise yourself and always give vague answers. A bee stings one of the pupils who swears out loud and is then told off. A bull enters galloping, driven mad by the red tie of the teacher, who maintains his composure while the children start to panic. The bull runs straight into the school and throws it into the air with all the people still inside.
