like ants in a crack
Like a snake down a hole

23. THE HUNT FOR THE MISSING MR TAN
On 29 MARCH BETWEEN 9.45AM AND 10AM
We pretended that our English teacher, Mr Tan, was missing
from class. He vanished like ice in the sun after teaching us
similes. We were very worried and decided to look for him. We
had to look out for him and spy what he was doing between
9.45 and 10am. However, we must not call or alert him. We
needed to inform the Form Teacher with evidence that he had
disappeared from class without a reason because we care and
are concerned for him.

24. We decided to divide our tasks so that some of us could
have our recess break first while others tried to hunt
for him and later switched our roles. We wrote down
whatever observations we made in our investigations
using our notebook so that we could compare notes with
each other and put up a class writing for Mdm Ng.
First, we snooped around the school canteen. We
spotted him at the round table holding two books.

25. Then he got up and walked in the direction of the
staircase.
As quiet as a mouse, we followed him up to the second
level. He stopped by at the water cooler at 9.52am and
thirsty like a camel in the desert, stooped to drink some
water. Then he walked towards the library as sure-
footed as a goat.

26. After depositing the two books into the drop-box, he
headed for the staff room. However, he met a lady at
the entrance and paused to exchange some words with
her at 9.56am. We could not hear what they were
talking about because their voice was soft like a whisper
but we could see Mr Tan’s face was beaming like sunlight
after the brief conversation.
We had so much fun that we wanted to play the game
again.
