On the drill ground almost all appeared to be afflicted with “Splitting headache, Sir”, and our drill instructor put an end to it by decreeing one day, “Those suffering from headache will hold up their arms.” It raised our hopes, but he added, “Since I wish to detain them for some special exercises that will cure their headache.”Not one lifted his arm, at which the instructor declared, “Now all of you take off your coats and get through the usual drill. I am glad to find that the class is going to exercise in full strength today.”(1) What was the order of the drill instructor ?(2) Why did the drill instructor declare that he was glad that day?
