THE UNEXPECTED DUO

Anna and Carlo, both Grade 4 pupils, auditioned in the school’s

upcoming talent show. While both pupils were talented, Anna decided to

sing her favorite song in the audition, while Carlo was hoping to show off

his talent in playing the guitar.

After an hour, Mrs. Reyes, the teacher, announced that there was

just one spot left to fill.

Anna and Carlo both looked nervously at each

other, for they were the last two pupils to stand on the stage.

Carlo whispered to Anna, “I know we’re friends. But I think one of us

will be disappointed after this.” “I know. I hoped that both of us would be

in the contest,” Anna answered sadly. “Oh! I’ve got an idea!” said Carlo.

Then he whispered something to Anna that made her excited.

When Mrs. Reyes ask who’s next, Carlo and Anna both stood up

and excitedly answered, “Both of us! We’ve become a team!”
