Seeing things differently
"Teacher... why is there food on the street?" Alice asked, her teeth protruding slightly from her upper lip, waiting ever so patiently to be enlightened."Oh! That! Thought I told you. It's the Hungry Ghost Festival, the food is an offering to all the ghosts out there..." Flan explained, flipping the page to glimpse at the number of questions they have yet to complete.
"It's funny..." Alice giggled, clasping both palms over her mouth. Her eyes formed two curved slits, as she shook her head in laughter. "There is food everywhere!"
"Yup, that's right. And remember - you are not to touch 'em, cos they are not meant for you..."
"No, I didn't! But 'Sarah' did. He used his foot to kick the food. He is bad." Alice told on her cousin, her voice oozing with disapproval.
"Yeah, he shouldn't. That's terrible..." Flan pointed her finger on the page in front of them, impatient to continue with the lesson. Clock's ticking.
Tapping lightly on the question, Flan was about to read it aloud when Alice interrupted again. She exclaimed, "I think the ants must be so happy! There is so very many food for them!"
