The Record Setter
My brother, Alex, is generally considered to be a reliable, clever, thoughtful fellow. I say “generally” because of things like what he’s doing right now.
Picture this and you’ll understand. While I, Nate, sit here playing a video game and texting with half my friends—two perfectly normal things to be doing for amusement—what is he occupied with? Alex is standing over there, counting softly to himself 79, 80, 81, 82… while he repeatedly bats a rubber ball attached by an elastic string to a wooden paddle. This is nonsensical
behaviour, is it not?
You might think I’m being too hard on Alex, as
brothers sometimes can be to one another. On the contrary, I’m being lenient. You see, this time it’s paddleball batting, but the last time—and I refer to just a few weeks ago—the challenge was standing on his head for
as long as he could, with a timer set up on the rug. Of course, he had to read it upside down, but I suppose he got better at it day by day. Maybe he should’ve put the timer upside down, too.
Frankly, I’m getting a bit concerned. What if one of his goofy pals introduces him to alligator wrestling? Or what if he gets enticed to take up tightrope walking from skyscraper to skyscraper? I tell you, for Alex, these ideas are not too far-fetched!

The Talent Show
Ms Spira, the music teacher, was nearly finished auditioning hopefuls for the upcoming talent show.
She announced to the two remaining candidates that there was just one spot left to fill, which caused Tameka and Kai to glance nervously at each other across the room. Tameka, a talented dancer, hoped to show off her technique and style in the show, while Kai, a gifted pianist, dreamed of becoming a professional musician and wanted this opportunity to perform. Though each hoped desperately to be selected, that seemed impossible now, with only two more try-outs for one opening.
Kai moved beside Tameka. “I know you’re an awesome dancer, and you know I’m great on the piano. Too bad we’ve got to battle each other,” he whispered.
“Oh, that’s kind to say, but one of us is simply going to be disappointed,” Tameka answered.
Kai asked, “What music are you dancing to?” Tameka replied that she planned to dance to the hit, “Sweet, Fleet Feet.” Kai originally planned to play a classical waltz by Frederic Chopin. But he also knew “Sweet, Fleet Feet” and could play it energetically, so he suggested something to Tameka that made her grin.
Then Ms Spira turned to Tameka and Kai to ask, “Who’s next?”
“Both of us—we’ve become a team!” they responded. The friends chattered as they went onto the stage. “May we please have a few moments to warm up?” Tameka politely asked.
Q. Who is telling the story?

Q. Two words that could describe everyone auditioning for the talent show are…
Krishna’s Lesson
Though small and gentle, young Krishna had great wisdom bestowed upon him by Lord Vishnu. In those days, Krishna lived in Vrindavan. Each year, the people there made offerings to Indra, the fierce ruler of clouds and rain, hoping to soothe Indra’s temper. Krishna clearly recognised that Indra was neither generous nor sincere; he was selfish and arrogant, unworthy of respect.
To teach Indra a lesson, Krishna addressed the people. “Indra is a bully we need not serve. Instead, it makes more sense to worship Govardhan, our mountain that supports us. Let us honour kind Govardhan, who selflessly shares her lush forests and urges the clouds to shower us.” The people approved Krishna’s solution.
Indra flew into a mighty rage. “These farmers ignore me to worship a mountain on the advice of a child? I shall severely punish this insult,” he thundered. Indra ordered the clouds to send furious winds and driving rains to Vrindavan. The tempest terrified the people, who fearfully sought help from young Krishna.
