solution
Who were the numskulls?
They are the kids that were chained to their looms by their ankles. They whined about
small cuts and blisters, and they worked slowly and poorly
Describe the slate and what it was used for.
The slate hung above the kids' looms. It had a lot of lines on it. Each line represented a
rupee. Each day, Hussain would erase a line if they worked well, and they would earn a
rupee. When all the lines were erased, they were free. This kept track of the kids' debt.

It's an hour long. The kids ate in exhaustion and silence. They had no energy to talk or
play.
