why was franz tempted to miss the school that day?

Since Franz had started late for school, he was in great dread of being scolded. Moreover, the bright and warm weather, the chirping of the birds and the drilling of Prussian soldiers tempted Franz to run away and spend the day out of doors. 

However, his inner strength helped him to resist this temptation.
