Hi everyone, this is Jesse, your story writer, and you’re listening to the Being a Cloud podcast. 

More teachers are waking up to the power of stories to teach languages, and on this show, I share the stories I’ve made with my italki students for you to enjoy. 

Are you an ESL student? Do you want to make a story? Book a lesson with me and let’s create one together. 

In this story, an orange named Orangutan gets an unexpected text message from his girlfriend. This is part 1 of 3.

Orangutan the Orange

Rain is pouring heavily onto a small town somewhere in Russia. It’s 8:15 in the morning on a cold Monday. 

Inside of a small, community-run gym, there is an angry-looking orange lifting some weights. It’s early, so no other members are in the gym. Not all the lights are turned on. The fourteen-year-old orange is alone lifting some dumbbells. 

8 – 9 – 10 – Rest… 

He takes in huge breathes to recover. He seems very driven to push his body to its limits. 

Again… 1 – 2 – 3… 

After completing his 5th set, the orange walks over to the bench press. He lays down on the bench, grabs the steel bar and lifts the 50kg weights. He’s very strong for such a young piece of fruit. 

Then, his mobile phone makes a sound. The orange completes his set, then grabs his phone from his bag. Two new messages have arrived. He opens the first one and scans the text. 

Hi, Orangutan, my dear, it’s me. I’m sorry to say, but our relationship is over. Please don’t visit me or call me anymore. You’re very strong and handsome, but you’re not polite or considerate. While I do care for you, sometimes I don’t feel safe around you…

The message stops there. It continues in the second message. But Orangutan feels so insulted and hurt by the message. He instantly deletes both of the messages, without reading the second.

Gut – besser – optimal

(A)  Optimierung, besser gesagt, Selbst-Optimierung, ist ein großer Trend unserer Zeit. Pausenlos überwachen, messen und kontrollieren wir unsere Körperfunktionen ebenso wie unsere Aktivitäten. Dafür gibt es zahlreiche Programme, Apps und Internet-Angebote. 
(B)  Wir achten auf mindestens zehntausend Schritte pro Tag: die Smart-Watch registriert es. Puls und Blutdruck werden dabei auch gleich gemessen. Schlank bleiben ist alles; aber wenn es doch Gewichts-Probleme gibt, holen wir uns einfach Motivation und Unterstützung von einem Internet-Coach. 
(C)  Auf die Frage: „Hast du heute Nacht gut geschlafen?“ antwortete man vor zehn Jahren: „Ja, danke!“ oder „Nein, grauenvoll!“. Heute sagt man nach einem Blick auf das Handy:“63 Prozent.“
(D)  Täglich erhalten wir eine Erinnerung, die Grammatikübungen in der Fremdsprachen-App nicht zu vergessen und wer beim Aufräumen und Putzen überfordert ist, lässt sich durch eine App für Haushalts-Organisation unterstützen. 
(E)  All das ist reizvoll und interessant, aber ein ungesunder Zwang sollte nicht daraus werden. Bedenklich ist auch, dass wir eine riesige Menge persönlicher Daten preisgeben, aber das ist ein anderes Thema.
