Today our class teacher proposed to play an interesting game outside the school. We went to the seaside with another class where we went in small groups of three-four people. Every group had to invent its own name. We used our imagination and wrote: Oriental Knights. Why Oriental? All members of our small team were from Russia and Ukraine. The word “Knight” is inseparable, obviously, from the Maltese reality.

We had a list of objects that we had to find and take photos, so the cameras were necessary. Bus, church, road sign and bench weren’t very difficult to find around us. But the first word was really hard – crab! We had no idea where it could hide. After some minutes of discussion we took the decision to ask the locals. We saw a small group of Maltese people that were talking. They told us that the crabs go out of the water only at night and that it was useless to look for them at 11 o’clock. We insisted on the importance of our difficult task and so one of them helped us to find our treasure. It was a small crab hiding in the water and waiting for the best moment to go away on dry ground. Our rescuer took it in his hand and showed it to us so we took the photos.

And we won!!!!!
