Alright, I'll update.
haven't been in the mood for the past few days but I'm alright, well thanks guys I'm fine, who doesn't have upsetting times right? still life goes on.
I had my first tuition session with the two little boys. HAHAS the older isn't that cute because he's really very lazy. I spent 1.5 hrs teaching the younger boy-andy (he's K2) 5 words! It was damn exasperating, the words were BRUSH, BROOM, BREAD, BROOCH, BROTHER.
okay fine, I started out teaching him the first two words. At first he managed to get BREAD correctly but after teaching BRUSH, I asked him to spell BREAD, he then said B-R-U-E-D (wat a word!) but he was very cute though so decided to reward him by telling him a story:
THE RED FLOWERS. hahas, that's my favourite story.
Here it goes.
Mr Topper's a gardener, all the flowers he grew was all RED.
His garden was full of RED flowers, he tried growing bluebells but they turned out RED instead. He was cross indeed that he could not grow flowers of green, blue and yellow.
One day, the King passed by Mr Topper's garden and was amazed by the red flowers. Thus, he invited Mr Topper to his palace to grow red flowers in his royal garden. Mr Topper was elated then he changed from his old and full of holes red gardening hat to his sunday hat. He hopped into the King's royal coach and was on his way.
Upon reaching the garden, Mr Toppers started weeding and planting the flowers. To his amaze, the flowers turned out to be every colour except red. He looked at his strong spade, fork and rake but they had nothing wrong then he checked the soil but they were rich enough to grow flowers. Mr Topper was scared that the King would be unhappy about it and the King was very cross indeed as he said "Grow them once more, all must be red". Then Mr Topper was very upset and went home.
The next day, Mr Topper was so upset that he forgot to change his old red gardening hat into his sunday hat. He started planting the flowers again.
This time, Mr Topper hid behind the garden shed and peeped at the garden, hoping red flowers would grow. Wow, the garden was really full of red flowers. "Hooray, Horray" cried Mr Topper as he jumped. Just then his red hat flew off his head, the flowers then immediately turned colour- green, blue and yellow except RED. He then quickly put on his red hat again, the flowers all turned RED. The King passed by and said "Well done! How did you do that?". Mr Topper then said "It is a secret". A secret between Mr Topper and his red hat indeed. HAHAS =) nice story indeed.
