Guys what’s the scene like for your holiday homework? Windy: Gosh, I still have lots to do. How will I ever finish it? Fluppy: Same here. I really don’t think I like the person who invented the concept of holiday homework. Cliparti: I don’t have much problem. I know how to make homework easier and faster. Fluppy: Really? Tell me how. Please. Cliparti: It’s quite easy. You can see for yourself from www.learninginfo.com/d _homework.htm According to it you find homework gruelling only if you lack some basic underlying skills. So all you have to do is to acquire some of these skills and then you’ll find all homework’s a child’s play! Fluppy: Child’s play? I am quite sure that if our teachers are asked to do this homework, even they are going to have a tough time! Windy: Right. Cliparti: Guys, this is not so. Homework is really not all that cumbersome. In fact, you are making it sound like a monster. Fluppy: Given a choice, Cliparti, I would rather meet a monster. Cliparti: Then Fluppy, this site is exactly for you. You will see for yourself how this will change your outlook. Windy: If that is really so, I am sure this will help many of our friends out there too. Fluppy: You are right, Windy. Windy: This seems to be the best site of the day! Fluppy: Hmm. Have you ever wondered, we are always discussing good, better and best sites? Cliparti: I beg your pardon. Fluppy: I mean just as Windy said it was the best site, have we ever talked of worst site? Why can’t we talk otherwise? Windy: Something as stupid could have only been expected from you. Cliparti: This is absurd! Windy: No, no, don’t worry, Cliparti. I have something just for Fluppy. Fluppy: Oh, really? How nice. Windy: I am talking about the yuckiest site on the Internet. Fluppy: Now that’s what I would call different! Cliparti: By the name of it, I don’t think I would want to hear about it. Fluppy: I do, I do. Please go on, Windy. Windy: As you want. You will find all kind of yucky entertainment here. All you need to know about belching and blackheads. Plus mad scientist fun in labs! Find out why you burp and a lot more at http://yucky.kids.discovery.com/noflash/index.html Fluppy: This sounds like a cool site! Cliparti: What cool? This sounds like a yucky site! Fluppy: None of you ever approve of the kind of site I like. If it is something different like this, you say its yucky. If it is some game site , both of you go, ‘Fluppy, can you ever think beyond games?’ God, when will you two let me live in peace? Cliparti: Listen, there is absolutely no need to get hyper. All we want is you to develop some decent choices and likes. Fluppy: And I thought choices and likes came naturally! Windy: Can we ever have a single chat without fighting? Cliparti: Look, he started with all this. Fluppy: Don’t lie. It is you guys who are always criticising me. Windy: Wherever we start from, I think we land up ending the same way! — Ira Verma |
