Trying her goddamn best to be optimistic about life.
okay, no. Not really. Yet.
Go see her art over here.
Her organiser's over here.
'Alright, class! Would you please name me a few carnivores??' the teacher was holding a piece of broken chalk in her hand; and grinning widely at her class in front of the blackboard.
'crocodiles!'
'tigers!!'
'T-REX!!!'
teacher scribbled whatever the little children said out onto the blackboard. she circled them and wrote 'meat-eaters' under it. 'Well, now; how about the omnivores?'
'HUMANS!!' the little children screamed the name at the same time excitedly.
the teacher once again scribbled on the blackboard. 'How about the herbivores??'
'giraffe!'
'caterpillar!'
'slugs!!'
the teacher continued scribbling all the names on the board. 'very good! now we all know the differences between all the--'
'lions.'
the teacher stopped. the children's excited chatter faded away as well. the little girl who spoke; she looked sure.
'lions eat plants. i saw one chewing on grass before.'
the teacher looked surprised. 'that's not possible, my dear. lions cant absorb grass the way REAL herbivores do. you are most definitely wrong.'
the little girl is stubborn. 'i saw one with my own eyes. munching on grass. i'm sure.'
the teacher became nonchalant. she looked at the little student and crossed her arms. 'lions are meat-eaters, so please do not confuse the rest of the class about the different classes of these animals.'
in the background; the words on the blackboard distorted and the words 'stupid', 'idiot', 'loser' and 'doesn't know anything' start to form.
the little girl knew that those words she sees are what the class thinks of her. the WHOLE class.
she feels sad. with a sniff, she pulled herself up and said, 'yes, teacher. sorry about that.'
the bad words disappeared from the blackboard and returned to the teacher's scrawny handwriting. the teacher went back to her cheery smile and went to face the board again. 'alright class! now tell me the differences---'
everything went back to normal. the student's excited chatter and the teacher's furious scribbling to catch up to the student's ideas.
everything was normal; and the little girl hated it all. she knew she was right. she herself has seen it; and she knows; not everyone would believe it, no matter how hard she tries. after all, why change basic general knowledge when you know it's wrong?even if you know it's correct? even if; even if it's a special circumstance and even if it happens once in a thousand years and nobody else but you or some lucky bastard who happened to notice...?
why the hell bother? nothing worth it is going to happen if you try anyway.
but the girl is stubborn. so she tries. and tries. and tries.
And that was the daydream I had today. It was random; and pointless. But I just HAD to type it out. =D
