Get Involved

Little Ben is joining a field trip organised by his form teacher. Guess what? They are short of volunteers to keep an eye on the children during the trip as the participation is rather high. Iris assured me that it will be a wonderful experience when I asked her for opinion. She once volunteered for her cousin’s school expedition. It was an unexpectedly enjoyable one, according to her. I checked the marked calendar, it said I’ll be on holiday anyway. Plus it has been more than a decade since I last visited the zoo. So I thought, why not? With regard to this, Ben’s mother has invited me over for dinner. She called earlier today, saying it’s the least she could do to repay me. I’m all ready to bring my empty stomach next door. I step on its doorstep, ringing the bell. The door opens before long and a cheery face looks up to me. “Good to see you, fussy old man!”, he playfully hollers.
