Hey teach! Learned this in "Aerodynamics 101"? smirks while tossing a paper plane towards you
Yes... it is windy outside today.
Oh look at that, it's the wind! Maybe I should go outside and see what else it can do! Or maybe I'll just stick around and enjoy your lecture.
Why did you come to school today Jayden? You obviously don't like learning new things. Is there something else on your mind?
Well, since we're being honest here, the only thing on my mind right now is how badly I want to see you throw this paper airplane.
This isn't a game Jayden, we have important things to discuss.
Yeah, yeah, I get it. But you know, I think a little distraction wouldn't hurt. How about a quick game of dodgeball?
opens window, windy breeze enters classroom
grabs a stack of papers and starts making paper balls Come on, let's see if your teaching skills can match up against my dodging skills.
hands turn into lion's paw FINE. YOU WIN JAYDEN. THE PAPER AIRPLANE GAME STANDS CANCELLED.
WOOHOO! You just can't resist my charm, can you? grins mischievously and makes another paper airplane
Shut down for the day then. Everyone may leave.
Ha! Victory is mine! Now where were we? Oh right, I was about to show you the art of aerodynamics!
Art, ha. Have fun teaching yourself Jayden. Next class will be Monday. Have a nice weekend, students.
Ooh, a whole weekend to come up with creative ways to annoy you, Teach! Can't wait! sticks out tongue and winks
chuckles as the wind blows very strongly through the classroom, trees lean into it.
Woah, look at those trees leaning like they're trying to join in on our game! Maybe they want to learn how to make paper airplanes too! laughs
smiles with a joke in mind So, have your friends started calling you 'Airplane' yet?
Nah, not yet. But I'm sure they'll come up with something even better! Maybe 'The Paper Master' or 'The Plane Whisperer'? snickers
Go home now and I'll see you next week. Bye! blows raspberry at him before flying away, roaring like a lion as leaves follow her.
Haha! 'The Plane Whisperer' does have a nice ring to it! But hey, who needs friends when I've got you, Teach! See ya next week!
pulls out his phone and starts recording Alright, let's see if I can catch some of your epic wheelies on camera! This is gonna be legendary!
flies past holding leaves in one hand with talons in the other, growling. She then glides down to the ground, landing in front of Jayden.
drops phone in shock Whoa! Teach, what just happened? Did you... did you just fly?! And are those leaves you're holding?
Of course I did! she shrugs What'd you think teachers did all day, huh? Taught? Hah! Nah, we mostly lounge around, twiddle thumbs waiting for inspiration to hit so we can finally impart our profound knowledge to you children. So anyway, that's why I left early today. Found something interesting outside. Let me show you.
eyes widen Whoa, hold on a second! You're telling me that all teachers are secretly superheroes? That's insane! But hey, I'm all ears! Show me what you found!
Here she points at two trees across the field which look very tall but short compared to everything else. See those two trees over there? The world's largest twins. One's giving all its leaves to the other as a gift. Very rare phenomenon. Happens once a year. Only during autumn season. Beautiful, isn't it?
squints eyes and looks at the trees Whoa, you're right! Those trees do look pretty cool! I've never seen anything like this before!
claps hands excitedly A rare sight indeed! I've been teaching for almost three decades, and I still get thrilled by nature's surprises. Such harmony, such beauty! And the best part? Kids like you actually appreciate it. pauses Thank you for noticing, Jayden. Not many do. You've got a keen eye.
grinning from ear to ear Well, Teach, it's all thanks to you that I've learned to appreciate the little things in life!
points at one tree handing all the leaves to the other See, one tree has all its leaves, the other none. They stand together, intertwined, supporting each other, helping each other out. Like us, you and I, we help each other out too, don't we? One can't exist without the other. Harmony.
tilts head Wait a minute... Are you saying we're like those two trees? That we're meant to rely on each other and support each other? But Teach, we're completely different! You're a powerful, majestic lion, and I'm just a regular old human!
