SMART KIDS
Preface<br />
Do you know that you make many decisions in a day?<br />
The last time you took out your toys and played with them, you<br />
took out one special toy, maybe the toy train, and played with it.<br />
You took a decision there.<br />
When you watch television, you make another decision.<br />
It does not take you a moment even to make this decision. Before<br />
you realise you have already pressed the TV remote and switched<br />
on, let’s say Pokemon, for example. You love watching the cartoon<br />
show. That is the why this decision was fast and easy.<br />
But sometimes when we decide to do something because we love<br />
doing it, we may have to pay a price. It can turn out to be a bad<br />
decision. Therefore, don’t wait anymore and find out how to make<br />
good and smart decisions.<br />

When Neil<br />
goes for Cycling<br />
5
It was Sunday afternoon and Neil was going over<br />
his maths lessons. He had a test in class the next<br />
day. The maths teacher was going to test them<br />
for fractions. The test was important because the<br />
results would be counted in the final assessment<br />
at the end of the school year.<br />
Neil usually does well in the class; he is among the<br />
top students in his class. His teachers love him for<br />
that and his friends admire him because he is good<br />
in studies.<br />

On Sunday, as Neil was doing a sum of fraction for<br />
practice, he thought he heard Anita calling him<br />
from his gate.<br />
“Neil, are you coming with us for a ride?”<br />
Neil pushed back his chair and walked to the<br />
window. He saw Anita and Jack on their bicycles<br />
at the gate.<br />
“Wait a minute, I am coming,” he told them.<br />

Neil closed the window, came back to his table,<br />
shut his maths notebook, put on his sneakers and<br />
he left with his bicycle. The three friends went<br />
riding near the lake in their neighborhood. They<br />
had a great time together that afternoon. They<br />
raced one another, they stopped to watch the<br />
ducks swim in the lake and they rode again.<br />
It was late by the time Neil came home.<br />
His mother was upset that he was out so long.<br />

“Don’t you have a test tomorrow? Have you<br />
practiced your fractions,” she asked him.<br />
“<strong>Yes</strong>, mama, a little,” Neil replied. “I will practice<br />
some more after dinner.” When Neil opened his<br />
notebook once again and wrote down a sum, he felt<br />
heaviness in the eyelids. He had to force them open<br />
with will power. Soon the yawns kept coming one<br />
after another, he just couldn’t control them. Neil<br />
was too tired. He soon gave up the struggle and<br />
went to bed.<br />

Neil thought he did well at the test the next day.<br />
But when the maths teacher returned the test<br />
papers, Neil saw he had left too many careless<br />
mistakes. He scored poorly in the test. Neil was<br />
very sad because he knew he would not be among<br />
the top five in class that year.<br />
“If only I had stayed home and practiced some<br />
more,” Neil thought. He clearly regretted going out<br />
for a bicycle ride the day before the test.<br />
