Fat-tie, Fat-tie, Tee-Hee, Fat-tie!

Belinda utterly loathes having to do any form of physical exercise. With a figure like hers it’s embarrassing trying to compete with her fellow pupils, plus she hates the exertion involved. She far prefers stuffing cream buns into her face — which she does at every available opportunity. At netball practice she hides around a corner hoping she won’t be noticed. But who’s this coming now but the Headmistress herself!

"What’s this?! Trying to get out of netball practice again, Miss Krüger? You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself, you lazy girl! I expected more diligence from a German exachange student! And what I got? This is the third time this term I’ve caught you hiding around here! Do you never stop eating, you disgusting creature?! Follow me into the gymnasium at once!!"

Not for the first time today, Belinda the school fattie looks and sounds as if she’s about to be sick.

"Over the horse with you, you useless good-for-nothing lump of lard! You know perfectly well that cutting a lesson is a serious offence — but you are still trying to avoid PE and school games, and you are still eating in unauthorised places and during lesson time too! I can see that writing lines has had no effect at all. It’s the good old British cane for your fat German buttocks, Miss Krüger! I warned you you’d get Baker's dozen strokes if I caught you again, and so it shall be…"

Poor Belinda’s gym knickers have ripped from the unaccustomed stress of bending over, but to make her plight even worse the Headmistress makes her pull them down and straddle the vaulting horse with her feet off the ground. Flab wobbling like an inedible jelly, a hideous sight to see, the lazy disobedient fattie now has to endure thirteen absolutely agonizing blazing cane stings across those outsize buttocks.

And what a fuss she makes!!
