History, Part 2

Pito watched the goslings with an intent stare. He needed them to complete their formations with precision and expertise well beyond their age and training.

When one of the geese lost his footing and tripped, everyone watching groaned.

Pito suddenly had an idea though, he hurried over to the fallen goose and helped him to his feet.

"I think you would make a perfect distraction for your battalion," Pito told the young goose.

"But, I keep tripping," the boy stammered.

"Exactly," Pito agreed. "I want you in the front when we get near the end. I want you to fall and distract the enemy from what's happening."

"But I thought we were going to fly in formation?" the goslings clamored.

"You'll fly to within a half mile, then," Pito paused for dramatic effect, "You'll go in on foot. They will be completely confused."

"Who's going to fly in?" one of the geese asked.

Pito smiled. "I have some ideas," he replied as he motioned them back into formation. "Now if only I can distract everyone long enough,"

Until next time, be ever attentive!

Notes To Keep Your Family From Worrying

This is a good example of a note sent home by a former student that is NOT acceptable.

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today was a good day. Early this morning our principal received word that Elsie was planning an attack. We were put on high alert and taken to the bus station. 

Some of us thought we were being sent home since it was dangerous but our teachers told us we were being readied to head to the front line to help fight the Evil Elsie. 

I'm just glad that Nora called off the high alert before we left. I was able to go back to school and eat my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. 

Odd, I don't remember us ever being given peanut butter before...

Oh well, miss you lots!

Love, 

Mary


Please remember when writing home, no details of any mission, whether undertaken or not are to be given. Including that we were on high alert. We don't want your parents to worry about you.
