The Scouts

by Gacina Bozidar


What went before the pre-Humans and nowadays Humans? What was the whole earth alike? How this world was shaped? Where the nowadays stars were placed? How the development of life took the shape and who really is responsible for the existence of the nature, the thin air and normal fear? Was it time when the winter lasted as much as it was needed to accomplish some regulating of the climatic state to be formed as it is now formed? The early earth? All this was presented in the weekly newsletter of the school who was one of the schools of highest class pupils. And they realised how demanding is to be part of high class of pupils, it was a school where all of them behaved as best pupils of their country or the best pupils of the region, it was not yet said 'Best in the Galaxy' though the wider cosmical words were approaching and these words just had to be established. For the moment,they were the best in the region and even so, it was demanding to be best. The best group was formed from the eight best ranking pupils who would be financed by the City Council to go anywhere around the world to discover the things they were instructed and maybe to rediscover what would be for example 'the remnants of the pre-historical tribes' willages' This group even had one air-craft and after all the preparations and consultations they landed-off. They were warned about strange myth about the zone where many ships and air-crafts were reported missing. This kind of triangle never will be prevented the scouts to land-off and to rediscover all the lessons on their own. The first direction was the Hawaii. In this isle the scouts would spend about two and half years and this would be the first part of the adventure. The second part would be to go to the China. They would be going by the old Marco Polo directions, and they would discover many wonderful tea plantations. The purpose of this expedition would be to search for the plants who would be magical enough to bring the individual his lost youth. It would be the eternal youth plant and this would make the school authorities very proud of the achievement of their own scouts. If this discovery would be real, the concern remained about its use and the wealth that this school would accumulate. How this should be managed and what the success the new, restored school is going to enjoy? The scouts returned to Hawaii and stayed there for another two and half years and nothing was discovered. Nothing as eternal youth plant nor eternal youth tea. At the Hawaii it was very interesting and the conclusion has been "Five years at Hawaii, two years in China following Marco Polo's steps, the researches, and grant of the health who is great. That is the motive and that is the reason to be the best or one of the eight best pupils in the school. Is this adventure worth the way of life led by best pupils? It was important to memorize all the lessons, to get home the best mathematical levels, to be all the time at the school, to be best ranking pupil and to leave at Hawaii. The other story happened to whoever remained. Many of them having nothing to do, got married as soon it was possible and grew up the children. At the time of the return of the eight best pupils, the worst pupils were already parents of the new pupils. They met the children of their mates who had remained.Those new pupils will in short space of time become best-ranking and will renew the history of the classifications. The new scouts were born.
