Answer:

The play Refund written by Fritz Karinthy opens with a former student who visits his

school with a peculiar motive. He wants the Principal to refund the tuition fees that he

paid to the school when he was a student. He claims the refund because according to him

given to him by his classmate, Leader.

emergency meeting of the staff. The teachers didn’t take long to realize that they were

dealing with a crafty and cunning individual. Wasserkopf’s idea was to take a

re-examination, fail in the exam and go home with a refund. The teachers realized that

Wasserkopf’s real intention was to fail in the exam and claim the refund. Therefore, they

had to devise a counter-ploy by which they could outsmart Wasserkopf.

The teachers decided to outsmart the old student by proving all his answers right,
