Lifestyle: Essay Topic

Slartibartfast is teaching his new friends, the frogs, to play cricket. Not much of a match in prospect with only nine players, but he's doing his best to hone their skills. He's introduced them to bowling and batting, having fashioned a wicket from toothpicks and bats from lolly (popsicle) sticks, and (after extensive trials) using dried peas as balls. He's particularly proud of two frogs in particular -- Croakers has incredible natural talent with the bat, and Hoppers has a reverse swing which is coming on very nicely, once the pea is a few overs old.

He takes a moment before the start of play on Thursday morning to write a note, which he pins to his classroom door.


Essay topic this week is "Sport". Please provide a hundred words on sport, on the positive and negative effects it can have on lifestyle. Essays in the tray here by Saturday evening, please.
The lifestyle course is open to new registrants -- if you want to join in our seminar on Monday, just drop an essay in the tray with the others.

He returns to the table, where the frogs are just emerging from the home-made pavillion ready for warm-up. He makes a mental note to fashion some whites for them -- playing naked isn't ... well, it isn't cricket.
