| Setting: | School yard in an average Vancouver neighbourhood. Two pre-teens (fidgety) discussing the fairness or lack of their parents’ advice. Nearby a group of younger ones – excitedly recount what a guest speaker told them about the Olympics – The Spirit The “eavesdropping” paid off for the older children. The lights went on in their heads and “Dahh”! all was well with the world as they took steps towards a not so boring future. - Sally Mascarenhas |
