15 The Young and the Old
A review by Jonathan Yu
If you like fairy tales, you will love the new play, The Young and the Old! You will leave the theatre with a smile after watching it!
In the play, Alfred (played by Jackie Lau) is a rich but selfish boy. He never cares about the feelings of others. Daisy the Witch punishes him. She turns his hair grey and wrinkles his forehead! He becomes an old man! There is only one way to become young again. He must find true love before he turns eighteen. One day, he meets a girl Jane (played by Faye Chan). She is a lovely, kind-hearted girl. She volunteers at the elderly centre every day. Alfred and Jane spend every day together and become friends. Alfred learns from Jane how to care for others. Later Alfred falls in love with her. Jane loves Alfred too and this breaks the witch’s spell. Alfred is young again! They marry each other and live happily ever after.
There are many fairy tales like this one, but this play takes place in the modern world. It feels very different. It does not feel like a fairy tale at all. It is a play that is suitable for all ages!

Happy day at FunWorld
30
Larry and his friends are looking at a map of FunWorld and talking about where to go.
1 Shall we go to Animal Land first?
6 Then we can go to Energy Land to go on the rides.
2 I just went to the zoo last week. Why don’t we go to Sports Land? It’s 10:15 now. There is a show about basketball in ten minutes.
5 After watching the show, we can take a boat ride along the river and get to the Treehouse in Forest Land.
3 Sounds great! How long does it take to get there?
7 I can’t wait to try all the roller coasters! We can go swimming at Water Land at the end.
4 It’s not far. I think it’s about five minutes on foot.
8 Good idea!
But now we need to hurry.
I don’t want to miss the show!
