Idiom Story

THE STORY! BY MIKAIL SAEED

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A TEACHER AND SHE HATED HER JOB TERRIBLY. HER NAME WAS MRS. ANIDEM (DEFINITELY NOT MRS. MEDINA BACKWARDS.) SHE ALWAYS PLAYED DIRTY TRICKS ON HER EXTREMELY LITERAL CLASS. THE CLASS TOOK EVERYTHING WORD FOR WORD. ESPECIALLY, VENDHAN! HE WAS THE MOST “KNOWN”  KID IN THE ENTIRE SCHOOL. HE WAS KNOWN FOR HIS UNIQUE PERSONALITY. ONE DAY MRS. ANIDEM WAS SO MAD AT VENDHAN. HE SPILLED APPLE JUICE ALL OVER HER PAPERS AND SHE ALMOST GOT FIRED. SHE WANTED TO TEACH HIM A LESSON… ABOUT IDIOMS! (DRAMATIC MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND.) SHE WENT TO CLASS WITH THE BIGGEST SMILE ON THE NEXT MORNING. SHE HAD A CUP OF COFFEE IN HER HANDS THAT SHE GOT FROM THE TEACHERS LOUNGE. “MRS. ANIDEM, YOU ARE ALWAYS SO LATE AND NEVER GET THE COFFEE. IT IS ALWAYS EMPTY WHEN YOU GET HERE. HOW DID YOU GET IT TODAY?” ASKED VENDHAN’S BEST FRIEND FEONIE. SHE WAS THE MOST FEARED GIRL IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY. MRS. ANIDEM REPLIED, “WELL YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, THE EARLY BIRD CATCHES THE WORM!” THE WHOLE CLASS LOOKED CONFUSED. THE KIDS THOUGHT SHE WAS CRAZY. “YOU KNOW WHAT TRACY, (MRS. ANIDEM’S FIRST NAME,) I AM GOING TO BE NICE TO YOU TODAY." MRS, ANIDEM ANSWERED, “ DO NOT LIE VENDHAN, A LEOPARD CAN NOT CHANGE HIS SPOTS.” “OK BOYS AND GIRLS ITS BARKER’S DOZEN TO THREE AND I SUGGEST WE GET TO WORK ON IDIOMS” “OK YOU'RE CRAZY!” VENDHAN SHOUTED, “WAIT WHAT ARE IDIOMS?”
