Josef observed the students coming in from behind the desk. Mandrakes were perhaps one of favorite things to observe, and to plant. They were unpredictable. As soon as the students were sitting down, and softly chatting among themselves, the professor raised his hand for silence. He said in his usual cold tone, “Today, you will be planting your Mandrake. We are working in Greenhouse three, so steer clear of the plants here. They don’t like to be messed with.” He coughed a bit and then continued.

On the table in front of the students were large, clay pots, potting tools, watering cans and the small pots of Mandrakes. “Feel honored that each of you will have your own Mandrake.” Professor Wolf stood up and walked around the class. “Follow my instructions exactly the way I say them.” His voice lowered to an almost hiss, “Do not harm your Mandrake, you else you will get an automatic T. I do not take violence very well in my class.” Feeling though he had gotten to them all, his voice returned to normal, “Mandrakes fancy damp soil, shade to sunlight, and an occasional food. Remember to take proper care of them”

Josef limped back over to the desk and leaned against it to observe all the students. He ordered, “Put on your Dragonhide gloves and your work robes and we shall begin.” He put on his gloves also. “I will demonstrate for you. However, before I demonstrate, I will verbally tell you what we are about to do. First, you will grasp the leaves of your Mandrake gently, yet firm. Then tug them upwards. Your Mandrake will come out of the small pot, and then you will transfer them into the large pot already filled with dirt, put them in, plant the dirt around them and give them some water. And that’s it. Watch me. Put your earmuffs on.” He waited patiently for everyone to have them on. “Their cry is pretty strident. So, make sure you have them on correctly.”

Josef put his on and made sure it was in place. He did everything he had ordered them to do. And eventually, the Mandrake rested comfortably in the large pot, dozing off. His Mandrake was rather small but vociferous. When he was done, Professor Wolf took off his gloves and went to sit behind the desk, smirking at the reactions of the students as they struggled with their Mandrakes.

Homework: RP today's lesson. Mandrakes are very humorous and creative to RP. Make sure to clean up after yourselves and put your tools away. If you'd like to draw a picture, you can, but it's not required.
