Untie the NecktieMil Flores-Ponciano and Leo Go

Kieth and Charlie are my cousins and friends, too. During summer time,

our family spend vacation in some provinces. Last May,

we went to Lucban to cele-brate the town fiesta with the family of Daniel, one of our close friends, too.

Kieth, Charlie, Daniel, and I joined a

relay where the main challenge is to untie the necktie of the mannequins.

Each of the competing group unties the necktie of

the ten mannequins as fast as they can. The team who is able to untie the neckties of the ten mannequins in the shortest time wins the game.

Everybody cheered as each competing group tried their best to untie the necktie as fast as they could. After a few minutes, our group

was declared the winner. Why? We believe in team-work that’s why we planned quickly how to win the game.

When the host family learned that we won the game, they cooked fried chicken and spaghetti for us. Our family shared galloons of ice cream

and several bottles of drinks. 1. What game did the

four boys join? 2. What is the main

challenge of the game?

3. Who should win the game?

4. Who won the game? 5. What’s the secret of

the four boys for winning the

game?
