Today in Grade Two Music, we were discussing the further adventures of Harold (our imaginary friend).
It seems that poor Harold went scuba-diving with his girlfriend, FiFi, when he accidentally--not looking where he was going, of course---he does tend to do that a lot---well, he swam into a Very Dangerous Place.
Kids Where did he go? What happened? Is he OK? Did you get a letter from him?
Me Well, he went right into the mouth of a very big fish.
Kids A whale? A killer whale?
Sam* I saw a killer whale once. It was in the zoo.
Jodi* Aw, that's not true. They don't have whales in zoos, right?
Carli* I think he must have been very frightened.
Me* He sure was.
Dinitra* How in the world did he fit into the whale's mouth?
Me* Well, you see, the whale just happened to be in the middle of a big old yawn. So Harold just thought it was a cave or something, and swam right in. He's been trying to get out ever since.
Charles* Man. I'm gonna pray for that boy.
(At this point, we all laughed and started singing out next song....)
*Sam, Jodi, Carli, Dinitra and Charles are not, of course, the real names of these highly imaginative youngsters.
