Derick Joined Story Telling Competition



One day, Derick brought this (see above picture) from school. He showed it to me happily. “Mommy, see”. Oh…He got it from story telling competition in Chinese at school. Derick never told me that there would be a story telling competition. “Mommy, I tell story at school today. I got the 2nd prize”, he told me one day after he came back from school.

I was surprised and couldn’t believe it. “Do you mean that you went up to the stage to tell story at the hall?” “How many students went up to the stage to tell story?” He explained to me that there were 2 kids from each class join the story telling competition. There are totally 9 classes. In conclusion, there were 18 kids joining the competition. I still couldn’t believe it and wonder if I have interpreted him wrongly.
I asked him to repeat the story that he shared with his classmates. I opine that his story is so long winded. He created the story himself without copying from story book.

In the same evening, such a coincidence, I met his classmate after Chinese enrichment. I heard from his classmate’s mouth that Derick told story at stage at school on that afternoon.

To-date, I am still wondering whether he has eaten a lion heart on that day to come up to the stage, since he normally is rather shy to strangers.
