I suppose once the boys confessed, they must have known that some such punishment would come. In retrospect, I thought that I could at least suggest a slightly different solution to the teacher. Because I was in practice the first day, I didn't know what I could talk about and what I couldn't. I know that maybe the teacher would not take advice from me, but at least she would listen to me and for the next time she would act a little differently.
