Can you come here, I need you! Hey Orcus! Hey! Can you come here, I need you! Hello Sharky! You weren’t in school last week.

I was ill. That's why I need you I was ill. That's why I need you! Can you tell me what did you do in school last week? You know what are teacher is like. The whole week he taught us about respect.

I know, I know. Then he started to talk about respect? On Monday, Mandy told our teacher Toctopus that he is just an old Octopus.

Of course! First we were talking about respect for the teachers. He convinced us that we must have respect for them.

How did he do that? It’s a long story. First he completely changed his behavior. He shouted at us, threw books, talked about his children and grandchildren. Gave us bad grades.

He,he …. He was crazy? Totally, and we didn’t like that. Then he explained how his behaviour would look like if he didn’t have respect for us. How without respect nothing functions normally.

Of course, he thinks that respect is more important than maths. Hey Shrimpy! I totaly agree with our Toctopus. It’s much more important to have respect for yourself and for others, then to know math. I assume that you talked about respect the whole week.

Orcus, you are totally under the influence of our teacher. Respect is importan for living with other animals in society. Math is just for you. Math is important, but not important like respect. What are you talking about?

Yes, that game helped us a lot! You probably tried to define respect the whole week. Yes, but Toctopus helped as with game of association .

Why is important to respect others? It is not important to respect just others, it is important to respect yourself. Why is important to respect others? Yes, because if you respect yourself, then you can respect others.

How can I respect myself? If you have adhered yourself to the opinions of others, even if you do not agree with them, then you do not respect your own opinion In a lot of different ways. For example, if you think something is wrong, and everybody thinks that it is right. You have to stay with your opinion. How can I respect myself?

Yes, we are still talking about respect. Respect? We are still talking about respect? Do you know this riddle? You get it once you earn it?!

Parents, teachers, older people, people… Ok, but who do we need to respect? I think it is much harder to answer this question: Who you do not need to respected?

How can we know who doesn’t respect us? Hm, people who don’t respect us? We can see, or even feel who doesn’t respect us.

I’m tired of this discussion about respect. Yes, it’s time for diner. Let’s go home. Tomorrow we will talk about respect some more. Think about it. I’m tired of this discussion about respect. Lest go home backwards.
