First Day of School

The first story I will pass out has the line

書生便入籠，籠亦不更廣，書生亦不更小，宛然與雙鵝並坐，鵝亦不驚。

And so the student got right into the cage; the cage neither got any wider, nor did the student get any smaller, and though he sat right there with the geese, the geese were not alarmed. 

When I read it to Adam, he thought of the Cloud Cult song "Journey of the Featherless," which has the lines: 

i think i'm growing feathers
but i'm not sure of it
because i started getting dizzy
about a hundred feet up 

i made friends with the clouds
i made friends with the birds
if you ask a goose a question
he never shuts up 

honestly i miss you
and i hope that you're missing me
cause i could use your lips on me
and a little of Dramamine.

So of course, to be cute and sentimental, I will play this song at the opening of the first class (it will also serve as a good test of the audio).
