It was a nice day, with everything going smoothly (enough) during flag-raising.Apperently my CCA starts next week so you can understand I`m quite busy.
Recess was average and we had to write a extremely lengthy composition that left my right hand hurting.Worse was to come when a bee came to our 4th floor classroom to party...and the bee so luckily hit a fast-moving FAN.You can understand that every one was shocked and it would take all the artists in the world to draw out the scene.It didn`t die though, and fell a great distance (in the 4th floor the ceiling is higher) down to the floor, where, as my friend put it, the miracles of Zeus began:surviving a fan hit and a long drop was bad enough but the bee got crushed by my classmate`s chair and was crushed my my classmate twice when she was trying to get rid of our unwelcome visitor.Even after being swept away and thrown in the dustbin, the bee was STILL alive.
Amazing, isn`t it?Now brace yourselves for the
Freaky fractions, part 1:
"Wow, I can`t believe it! $10,000 for us all to share." gasped Fish-Fillet. (check my previous stories because characters will be a recurring part of my time-fillers.) Nugget quipped, "Don`t be so smug!You couldn`t have done it without ME and my brothers!Besides, we were doing a decorating job..."
"Nobody needs to know that! Just say that we robbed a bank or something.And don`t forget it, I don`t want to lose my reputation as a gangster, you know see the way I rejected our Medusa`s request to help split all the cash?Anyway`s, she`s such a mug.Giving us $10.,000 for decorating her den......"Fish-fillet retorted.
"Hey, are you hogging all the attention?We helped out too!" One of Fish-Fillet`s brothers shouted out.
" Before you want to shoot the bullets, brother, let`s not forget we have $10,000 to share out with all 7 of us."Fish-fillet replied.All 7 men gazed longingly at the pile of cash, but not daring to take the risk and snatch all the cash.
"So each of us take $7000, then $2800, then $140, then $8, then 57 cents,then......"Nugget counted." Hey! There`s 1 cent left!"he gasped.
"Yeah?Thanks for the honours,I`ll take it."Fish-Fillet said, snatching the cent off the table.
"Get him!"
"Get them!"
"After those cheaters!"
And who`d have guessed that Fish-Fillet`s foot kicked a candle towards a oil barrel which was right next to the table......"NO!OUR MONEY!I LEFT IT AT THE TABLE!" Shrieked Nugget.But it was too late, for the table with the cash went on fire and exploded immediately.
A few metres away, Medusa laughed and said to herself,"THAT was some entertainment......just shows that no matter how useful decimals are, you can`t ignore fractions."She laughed.
