There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colours are brighter, the air softer, and the

morning more fragrant than ever again.

Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parent, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers.

What next? 1. Discuss, taking turns, what would happen and how you would feel. 2. List up to 6 things you would do as a group and explain your reasons.
