The Boy In A Coffee Bean Costume.

"Kids, are you prepared for the Halloween parade in the schoolyard tomorrow?" I asked my pupils with enthusiasm, as I could feel the excitement in the air. "Yes, ma'am, we are," they chorused with so much energy.

"It's going to be competitive with other classes; I want you to be as creative as possible, think outside the box, and stand out while we have so much fun tomorrow, okay?" I encouraged my kids to soar during the costume competition, which will be held on the school premises, where the three moderators will pick the best and most unique costume.

The next morning, I hurried off to school to make some decor in my class, with colourful cardboard, Halloween balloons, and Halloween drawings. I decorated the ceilings and tables with zombie artwork, orange pumpkins, and candles, and then created flying bats with toilet paper rolls. In no time, the Halloween theme was popping up in my class; the whole class was filled with the Halloween aura, and I was anticipating the kids in my class to show up with their breathtaking costumes.

I watched how other teachers came to my class to take a sneak peek at how beautifully adorned my class was, and they were wowed by my creativity.

The whole school was beautifully adorned with different artwork, and in no time the moderators started coming in with their Halloween costumes, and some other kids from other classes started coming in too with their regular Halloween costumes; some rocked the costume of a vampire, some as a witch, Harry Potter, ghostbusters, zombies, and werewolves.

The whole air was filled with energetic sounds when Fred, a pupil of my class, walked into the school dressed up as a coffee bean. The costume was very brown, funny and smiley, and personalized with a text inscribed "I love coffee," with a hat sprinkled with cocoa powder. He was looking different with his unusual choice of costume, and the whole class paused and stared for a couple of minutes.

"Wow, Fred, this is really amazing." I ran off to him and hugged him. "Why did you choose to wear a coffee bean?" I asked him.

"To promote my coffee, of course," he replied with so much enthusiasm, and so the parade began. The whole moderator stood in amazement as he paraded around the schoolyard in his stunning, creative, and unique costume, which made him noticeable to all in the audience.

Fred confidently showcased his love for his passion through his coffee bean costume which inspired almost everyone to be fearless and determined in the pursuit of what set their soul on fire.

I watched how one of the moderators couldn't help but call him out to the podium as the best-dressed and most creative pupil. Ms. Bambi, the moderator, asked him to share the inspiration behind his coffee costume.

He talked about his undying love for coffee and how he had a week of sleepless nights trying to stitch and create the costume with the help of his mom. His aura embodied appreciation for his favourite beverage in the world, the comfort the aroma brings, and the variety of flavours he has enjoyed with warmth and delight.

Fred was so confident while he spoke about the origin of coffee and his early morning rituals of taking coffee that the whole kids sat quietly as they listened to his undying declaration for coffee, and so the parade not only became entertaining but also an educational hub, and the other kids learned the significance of coffee in the world.

I was filled with wonder at how a pupil in my class could make the crowd stare with his top-notch creativity. I began to applaud him, and in no time the whole crowd stood as a sign of respect for him and his passion.

Fred made my class the winner of the parade with his stunning creativity, and we enjoyed the rest of the day, playing games, dancing and having fun.
