Writing Challenge: Live from the Penguin Cam

dialogue of Penguins

We have 7 penguins; Speedster, Complainant, Yellowish, Cheery, Rational, Crazy and Forgetful.

Please read this dialogue among them.

Complainant:

Please be quiet, Speedster! [swimming fast]

I'm sick to death of your behavior! You should get the brakes fixed on your head!! You're dicing with death every time you are swimming!

Yellowish:

Yes! Last time he frightened the life out of me!

Cheery:

But taking up swimming since he was here has given him a new lease of life.

It's really funny! I hope I can swim next to him [smiling]

Rational:

But It is a fate worse than death, Cheery! [nodding head]

You must learn the rules first, if you want to swim like this. I remember Crazy who swam in this way and he had to leave here soon.

Forgetful:

Crazy!! I remember his name, but for the life of me I can't remember his face!

Idioms:

sick to death of something: Very unhappy about something.

a new lease of life: New energy and enthusiasm or better health.

dicing with death: Risk being killed by doing something very dangerous.

a fate worse than death: Something very bad that could happen to you.

frightened the life out of me: Make somebody extremely afraid or nervous.

for the life of me: If you say you can't for the life of you understand or remember something, you are emphasizing that you can't understand or remember it, even if you try hard.

Hi Sahar!

Thank you for being the first writer to take the challenge this month! I love the idioms you chose. It looks like you had fun with this. Great dialogue! I think readers will remember these idioms because of your dialogue.

Note from dialogue: must learn the rules in the first, if you want to swim like this.
