One Voice team becomes “picky”

June 23, 2008 10:35 PM

One Voice just got off the consequence of having no food on their tables for a whole week. One person stood for their team in order to get them out of the great dilemma. But just when they thought that food supply is not a problem anymore, Teacher Monet brings out another task that made them view eating in another perspective.

Issues on rice shortage don’t seem to bother the One Voice org in any way. As Teacher Monet noticed, the team was quite spendthrift with rice. It seemed as if that the One Voice Scholars had gotten used to digging up more rice than they can finish, and leaving wasted left-overs on their plates has become a usual habit.

To teach them a valuable lesson, Teacher Monet decided to give them a very challenging task that deals with the point of discussion itself -- rice. The Dream Mentor gathered the concerned team in the dining room, and then he started to give out small clay pots to each of them. Each clay pothas a cupful of rice in it, and a toothpick on top.

The Scholars were instructed to finish all the rice inside the bowl using nothing but a toothpick. The Scholars had to eat the cupful of rice grain by grain using their toothpicks. As another part of the instructions, a “no left-over” policy was also strictly applied.

As expected, the Scholars kept on whining about the task. Some Scholars were annoyed because the task will interrupt their “no rice” diet, and others kept on complaining because they figured that it was a mere waste of time.

Teacher Monet just couldn’t stand all the objections, so he decided to join the team in their misery, in order to prove another point. He said that a task is a task, and all they have to do is abide by the rules. He added that the task would surely take time, but that’s how their lesson should be taught.

How long will eating be such a burden for One Voice? Will One Voice finally learn their lesson this time? Watch Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 to find answers, and stay updated on the happenings inside the Academy.
