Squarho : I am super excited about the tournament. Uncle Math, please tell us more about the challenges.

Uncle Math : Before I introduce you to the challenges, let me divide you all into two teams.

Uncle Math : Team A, Cirha and Triho come to the left , and Team B, Cirho and Squarho come to the right.

Cirha : What is right and left, Uncle Math?

Uncle Math : Look here, my hand is pointing to the left.

Cirha and Triho : Team A on the left.

Uncle Math : And now it is pointing to the right.

Squarho and Cirho : Team B on the right.

Uncle Math : The first challenge is the In – Out Challenge. In this, each team will select one member. You will have to run, jump into the box, pick up the apple present in the box, jump out of the box and run again. Whoever crosses the finishing line first will win.

Narrator : Team A selected Cirha and Team B selected Squarho.

Uncle Math : Are you ready?

Cirha and Squarho : Yes!

Uncle Math : Ready…Steady…Go!

[Cirha and Squarho started running fast.]

Triho : Team A!…Team A!

Cirho : Team B!…Team B!

[While Squarho is still on the way. Cirha jumps into the box, and picks up the apple present in the box.]

Cirha : I am in!

[Cirha jumps out of the box and runs towards the finish point.]

Cirha : I am out!

Uncle Math : Team A has won the In-Out challenge.

Cirha and Triho : Hurray!

Uncle Math : Team B, do not worry, you can win the next challenge.

Uncle Math : The next challenge is Full – Empty Challenge. In this, the selected team member will be given a glass full of juice, whoever empties the glass first wins.

[Team A selected Triho and Team B selected Cirho]

Triho : What is full and empty, Uncle Math?

Uncle Math : When the glasses are filled with juice, they are said to be full. When you drink it and finish all the juice, it becomes empty. Are you ready to empty it?

Triho and Cirho : Yes!

Uncle Math : Ready…Steady…Go!

Cirho : Yes, my glass is empty!

Uncle Math : Team B has won this challenge.

Uncle Math : The next challenge is More – Less Challenge. In this, both teams will be given a container each. Teams need to collect
water in their containers from the shallow pond. Whichever team collects more water will win.

Uncle Math : Are you ready?

Squarho, Triho, Cirha and Cirho : Yes, Uncle Math.

Uncle Math : Ready…Steady…Go!

Narrator : Team B is doing great but look at team A, they are collecting water with flying speed.

Triho and Cirha : Hurray! We have collected more water.

Uncle Math : Yes, you both are right. Team A has collected more water as compared to team B, clearly team A is the winner.

Uncle Math : The last challenge is the Heavy – Light Challenge. In this, one team will sit on one side of the seesaw, and other team will sit on the other side. Whichever team is heavy wins.

Triho and Cirha : 1…2…3…Push!

Squarho and Cirho : Push…push!

[Both teams push with all their strength.]

Uncle Math : Clearly, Team B is heavier than Team A. So, Team B wins.

Cirha : Oh no! We lost.

Uncle Math : There is no need to worry, Cirha.

Uncle Math : Even though both teams lost some challenges but you won some as well. So, I declare all of you winners.

Triho, Cirha, Squarho and Cirho : Hurray!
