Naphtali breaks out into character and the entire
class is in shock and awe. His enthusiasm in character energizes the entire room. Matt and
Shipka are sitting at the same desk. Shipka's mouth drops, her eyes go bright, and her mouth
now beings to form a smile as Naphtali introduces the game and explains the rules which are
few. Shipka is raring to go and the energy starts to rub off on everyone. We are all really
excited about playing a real game. We even put together a prize for the winner. It wasn't much,
but each of us threw in two dollars so we put together a snack bag for the winner; a fruit
drink, a bag of chips, some sweets and a piece of fruit. I figured this would be a nice prize
because we're all hungry students.
