Chapter 1 - The morning after (3)

Class atmosphere
ELPHI

By the way, I forgot to tell you that most of my students are monkeys…

MONKITO

Miss Elphi, I heard that children will be trained to do videos!

ELPHI

True… Do you want to become a reporter?

MONKITO

(EXCITED) Yes!!!!!

ELPHI

Who ate all the bananas for the morning tea?

MONKITO

Well. I was a bit hungry…

ELPHI

And who threw a coconut to Mr. Jerafee when he came to inspect the school?

MONKITO

He was critizing everything!

ELPHI

And do you expect me to support you?

MONKITO

(SAD) I guess it was a bad idea.

ELPHI

(LAUGHING) Wrong! It’s an excellent idea! As a matter of fact, it might be the only way to channel your energy. I’ll support you!

MONKITO

You are the best, Miss Elphi!!!

ELPHI

Monkito was so excited that he couldn’t sleep that night. He told all his friends, who immediately wanted to follow his example. And there was Maki, a beautiful monkey girl with ponytails and enormous eyes.

MAKI

Miss Elphi, Monkito is saying that girls can not become reporters.

ELPHI

Maki, journalism is one of the few professions where women are popular.

MONKITO

But females don’t know how to handle equipment!

MAKI

Better than you, prehistoric monkey!

MONKITO

And they have house obligations! No time for reporting.

MAKI

Obligations we are supposed to share.

MONKITO

I do interviews, not dishes!

ELPHI

Monkito, females can do the same things as males, provided they have equal opportunities.

MONKITO

The equipment will not last two days...

ELPHI

We’ll see... In the meantime, let’s start our class.
