"Yes, Rj? Menggay?" Niko caught the two kids staring at him. All the other children were busy finishing their activity.


"You haven't shaved...you have the hair here like Flynn Rider...Is Rapunzel still stuck in her tower?" Rj asked while stroking his chin.


"Well..." Niko stroked his chin and moved closer to the camera to show of his rather 'hairy' chin.


The kids giggled.


"...sigulo yun beborit lolor ni Chichur Neeex yun bawn..."


"Bawn?"


"Yun bawn...yun sa bewww..."


"Brown...she means brown...brown bear..." Rj explained.


"No, not really..." Niko said as he looked at his clothes. He was wearing a brown shirt. He shook his head and remembered what he and Riki did just the night before.


"Eh batet kaw na bawn aden?"


"Maybe he has many brown shirts..." Rj said.


"Ahh...beborit e..."


"...why, what's you're favorite color?" Niko asked.


"Lelow!" Menggay exclaimed.


"I like black...and silver..." Rj said.


"Diba dusto mo din yun wed ka-te tabi mo ti Awonman wed..." Menggay turned to "look" at Rj.


"Ah, yes. Red. Ironman wears red. He's my favorite!" Rj shows off the Ironman print on his shirt.


"Si Awwwjaaay madami-dami yun Awonman tee-sert nya..."


"...and do you have a lot of yellow dresses?" Niko asked Menggay.


"Uhm...may lelow pinses dess ato...yun kay Belle...Booti em da bees"


"Ah.."



"So, Teacher Nyx, do you really like the color brown?" Rj asked after a while. The kids were making their own masks with paper plates and colored materials. Rj noticed that Teacher Nyx had put a lot of brown colored paper on his 'mask'


"Hmm...not really..."


"...what mask did you make? Is it because of the story "Brown Bear"? The one we read the other day?"
