Mario has been my student, teaching English in China, for more than a year. While extremely bright, it is sometimes difficult deciphering the mish-mash of English, Cantonese and Mandarin that explodes from his mouth when excited.  In the parents’ day performance of last week he played the Big, Bad Wolf of Little Red Riding Hood fame. On the cusp of coolness, he fought me tooth and nail over wearing the above cape.

Funny, I would pay to wear a cape.
