Rogue Quiz

Milk Wood

Lilly studied a lot for the quiz about Nature. The prize was wonderful, a prize she had dreamed of for years. Well, she was only nine, but she had dreamed of it for quite a while.

There was only one problem. Tommy. Tommy was an expert cheater and he had won the last few prizes. She could barely look at his smirk.

While Mrs. Blake was not paying attention, Tommy sneaked a peek at his cheat notes and Lilly poked a finger in his ribs. He screeched in pain.

“Tommy!”

Yes, he was disqualified.

That was the best prize ever.

“Go up the hill, then left. Take ten steps and turn right. Walk straight forward for about twenty steps and then walk back ten steps, turn left and then right. Go around the fountain in the middle of the square twice and then forward a few steps, say 10. You should see it.”

“What?”

“You should see it there.”

“Wait a second. Why do I have to take twenty steps forward and ten back?”

“For the same reason you have to go around the fountain twice.”

“And why is that?”

“If you haven’t figured that out yet, you never will.”

Offend

Pure Dreams

The family gathering was supposed to be a fun get-together, but it never was. Everyone pretended it to be great. Long time no see, you look great, and heavier, you've grown to look just like your mother, big nose and all. The usual remarks and the standard sarcasm. However, they would all go back, each year, for the family gathering.

Until that day when grandfather, whom they thought was hopelessly senile, put everyone back in their places.

“Have I offended anyone?”

The silence marked the end of the family get-togethers, well, until grandfather’s funeral, that is, where everyone met again.

“Didn't I tell you not to stand at the back of the room, staring at the ceiling? I find that extremely annoying, not to mention distracting. You cannot just stand there in silence. You haven’t said a word since the course started. Your attitude is totally unacceptable,” said the teacher, furious.

Without any sudden movements, the student pointed at the ceiling and everyone looked up.

A gigantic spider had built a massive spider web where huge flies were stuck and desperately fought for their lives.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, sir, but that’s quite the life lesson, wouldn't you say?”

Tumble

Time tumbled the walls of the old theater. Abandoned for years, it became refuge for all sorts of animals, including good old Ronald. Ronald found a secret room underneath the stage and decided to hide there. This time he didn't run too far. The only problem was the kid. He always kept half the money Ronald gave him to get food, and he was a dangerous blabber. When the kid’s mom showed up and dragged Ronald by the ear to the local police station, the kid waved the little flag Ronald had placed on the wall of his secret room.
