It happened at the time when Mr Douglas was a trainee teacher. Many pupils took advantage of his inexperience, which made Mike's father life really hard. One day Robert, who was the naughtiest boy in Year 6, decided to play a practical joke on poor Mr Douglas. When the teacher left the ICT suite where they were having a Maths class, he asked everyone to turn all the desks and chairs upside down. The pupils, who liked to follow Robert's lead, did as he had told them. When Mr Douglas returned, they were sitting on their chairs and working as if nothing had happened. Mr Douglas stood speechless for a minute and then started laughing. It was probably the situation which helped him to relax and enjoy teaching more. Join the two sentences in one.
