Basil’s character talks about how he has ‘helped’ the people of his town. Giving an example, he narrates an incident when the teachers became a problem for the students and he sought to rectify it by setting fire to the staff room. This led to school being shut down for two weeks, the character says, adding that it came as a welcome relief for the schoolkids.
