Maya: "You already did the whole rocket body. I’ve not even started."
Arjun:boring." "I have to color the smoke. Without blue, it looks
Maya: "All the nice blues are with you. Mine is just a tiny stump."
Arjun: "This one was given to me when class started. I didn’t grab it."
Maya: "I know. But now I’m stuck with a half peacock and no neck."
Teacher Aunty: "What’s the matter, you two?"
Maya: "He won’t share the blue. He’s holding it like it’s glued."
Arjun: "You gave it to me, Aunty. It was given to me first."
Teacher Aunty: "Yes, I gave it to you to finish your rocket, not forever."
Maya: "See? It’s just for some time."
Arjun: "But my smoke is still white. Rockets don’t fly with white smoke."
Teacher Aunty: "Okay. Arjun, you use it till I count to ten."
Teacher Aunty: "After that, it’s Maya’s turn. Then it’s given to her."
Arjun: "Only till ten? That’s so quick."
Maya: "You draw fast when you make rockets. I’ve seen."
Teacher Aunty: "One… two… three…"
Arjun: "Fine, I’ll do super-speed coloring."
Teacher Aunty: "Nine… ten. Time’s up."
Arjun: "Done! Here, Maya. Now it’s given to you."
Maya: "Thanks. I’ll finish the peacock and then we can both show Ma’am."
Arjun: "Yeah. One given crayon, two awesome pictures."
