Scene 5: The Last Night Before the Vote

The echoes of the mock parliament still clung to the school like the scent of rain after a storm. Though the clouds had cleared, the air carried that same restless weight—something unspoken, waiting. The courtyard was unusually quiet for an evening so close to the vote. The banners that had once fluttered boldly in the […]

Scene 4: The Gardeners and the Storm — Crisis in the Mock Parliament

The mock parliament chamber was unusually quiet at first—just the rustle of papers and the shuffling of chairs. Yesterday’s session had been all whispers and shadows, where alliances were forged in corners, and words were honed like blades. Emil had left that room with a knot in his chest, knowing that cleverness without conscience could

Mock-up Scene 3: Political Maneuvering (Conscience vs. Cleverness)

The following week, the debate hall was quiet. Not from peace—but because the arguments had slipped off the stage and into corners where light did not reach. In the common room, chairs scraped against the floor as clusters formed—two here, four there—faces close, voices low. Promises traded like currency, each one backed not by principle,

The village school had chosen its new class representative: Emil. At twelve, Emil had always been quick-witted and observant.

The Test of Transparency

The sun hung low over the hills, casting long golden shadows on the dusty path. Emil walked alongside his grandfather, their sandals brushing through dry leaves. They were on their way to the old well near the orchard—a walk Grandfather called “a walk to draw wisdom.” “Grandpa,” Emil said, after a long silence. “Why do

What is Leadership, Anyway?

Mira and her grandfather sat beside the old stream, where water had shaped stone for generations. “Justice,” Mira whispered, “mends the broken web.” Her grandfather nodded. “But who holds the thread while it’s mended?” She thought. “A leader?” “Yes,” he said. “But not the loudest voice.
