School child hands out over $13,000 in class

A little Yemeni school boy in Saudi Arabia wreaked havoc in class when he opened his bag and started to splash more than $13,000 to his colleagues, who were stampeding to get more of the sudden fallout.

The pockets of most of the pupils in the school in the capital Riyadh were so full that they started to stuff the SR500 notes in their bags.

The boy kept filling his hands with the notes and happily hurling them at his classmates when the morning teacher entered the class.

“I was stunned when I saw what he was doing as a large number of notes covered the floor,” Saghir bin Idris told the Arabic language daily Alriyadh.

“I then collected all the money from the pupils and handed it to the school management, which called the boy’s father….he said he left nearly SR50,000 ($13,330) in the bag at home but did not know his son took it.”
