“Hi Manu, do you think we should provide breakfast For Nz schools?” asked Zahn.

“No!” gasped Manu.

“Why do you think that?” wonderd Zahn.

“Because parents should be responsible for their own kids breakfast.”

“Good idea but i think that we should provide breakfast for Nz Schools.”

“Why do you think that?”

Thought Manu

“How would you feel if came to school without breakfast, starving and all you are thinking about is food?”

Questioned Zahn.

“Wow i like that idea as well.”

And people need energy to participate and contribute. Also it makes kids want to take part in activities and keeps kids focused in their learning.

Wow, we both have really good solution

Replied Manu.

“Yeah!”

Laughed Zahn.

“But i still think we shouldn’t provide breakfast because Teachers shouldn’t be paying us kids to be having breakfast every morning. They can spend the money on more usefall things like P.E equipment.”

“Good idea”

thought Zahn
