What would you rather, parents whose dreams are bigger than yours, or parents who have no dreams for you at all? How would you cope in a small boat with eight angry people giving you a bellyful of flack? Who'd you prefer to have as a friend, an old wrinkly who's there for you or a couple of mates who make you feel small? Ages 10+.
