Speaking exercise

In his small and old apartment which is on a quiet street in the suburbs at 27 Inkwell Street, MB was playing chess with teddy feeling a bit bored. After thinking for a long time, he randomly moved a piece with Teddy staring blankly into the blackness. Then he said “your turn teddy” to teddy who moved the king 1 step forward (it was actually not his choice – MB chose it cause Teddy is not real). It was a very unwise choice because MB’s pawn checkmated Teddy’s king immediately after. And MB took out a slate and said 61 and marked another tally mark on his score and he said “best of 62?”. Suddenly the doorbell rang. He rushed to the door and swung it open. There was MB’s girlfriend Kiko carrying a small, cute poodle with a lovely lavender ribbon that matched perfectly with its light, brown, curly fur, with a collar tied around the dog’s neck with the name carved on a piece of metal sprayed with golden paint and the name said “Fluffy”. The minute MB got near to it, Fluffy started barking ferociously and suddenly lept off of Kiko and lunged towards him. It chased MB in loops around the table until MB tripped and caused Teddy immediately to fall over the chair and onto the floor. 6.66666 femtoseconds after that, Fluffy lept onto Teddy and started attempting to tear Teddy’s ears next to MB’s raggedy chair. MB spotted Fluffy crazily biting teddy and launched to grab Teddy’s leg. They started a tug-of-war with Teddy as the rope (if Teddy was alive he would definitely scream in agony and loathe them for this). Following that MB managed to get the upper hand. While he and Fluffy are fighting like 1 year old children, Kiko said “take care of her for me”. MB rasped “are you kidding me??”. Kiko rolled her eyes and said “she’s no trouble!”. She placed Fluffy’s yellow and brand new leesh on MB’s stained, not very stable and probably gonna collapse in another month chair and took out a blue bone. from her bag, saying “she likes to play with this toy! Bye!”, then slammed the door. MB finally got Teddy back but Kiko was already gone. (Note: Teddy’s ear is a bit torn).

First to 10 – whoever gets 10 first wins
Best of 10 – we play 10 games, and whoever has the most score at the end wins.

10th of a second = 0.1 seconds
100th of a second =0.01 seconds
1000th of a second = milisecond = 0.001 second
