  • Fast Forward: Narrative section describing a story about Slick learning a lesson on time and responsibility.

Fast Forward

by Leah N. Bautista
“Classes will start late tomorrow.” Slick jumped
with joy. He said, “I need not hurry. I’ll take it easy.
I have lots of time to get things done.” So he played
with his friends in the yard. They talked and had
fun until dinner time.
“Uh-huh,” Slick’s father said. “Look at the
clock’s long minute hand. Fast forward it goes. It
warns us that time flies by fast. So do first what has
to be done while you have time to do it.” He cleaned
the Grandfather’s clock which chimed ten times.
Slick did not listen. Later, he had to move fast
forward like the minute hand of the clock. He
worked fast on his homework to get it done. He had
to get up early and dress up fast hoping he would
not miss the school bus.
But the bus was gone so Slick skipped breakfast
and walked fast forward to school so he would not
be late.
Tired and hungry Slick said, “The lesson I learned
today so we need not move fast if we just manage
our time well and do first things first.”
