A DOUBLE DUTCH TALE SIERRA AND OSCAR PUT ON THEIR UNIFORMS TO PERFORM THE TANGO IN THE HOTEL BALLROOM. DANCING THE TANGO AND DRINKING WHISKEY ARE TWO OF THEIR FAVOURITE THINGS TO DO. THERE WAS A LOUD ECHO IN THE BALLROOM LAST NOVEMBER WHEN THEY DID THE TANGO WHICH REALLY FRIGHTENED THE YANKEE. THEY USED TO DO THE FOXTROT IN INDIA WITH VICTOR BUT THERE WAS A LOUD ECHO THERE TOO. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE THEY WERE SO CLOSE TO THE RIVER DELTA. THE ECHO EVEN FOLLOWED THEM WHEN THEY PLAYED GOLF WITH ROMEO. "I HATE ECHOES! ECHOES ARE SO ANNOYING!" EXCLAIMED SIERRA. "LET'S DO THE FOXTROT!" SAID OSCAR. "NO," SAID ROMEO, "I WANT TO TANGO WITH THE YANKEE!" SIERRA SIGHED AND SAID "THIS REMINDS ME OF THE TIME I HAD TO GO TO INDIA FOR AN X-RAY. PAPA TOLD OSCAR THAT IN INDIA NOVEMBER IS NATIONAL TANGO MONTH. THE TANGO IS DANCED IN EVERY HOTEL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. BUT ROMEO COULD ONLY HEAR THE ECHO OF IT IN HIS HEAD. ECHOES ARE SO ANNOYING!" "LET'S DO THE TANGO AND DRINK SOME WHISKEY" SAID OSCAR IMPATIENTLY. OSCAR KNEW THAT NOVEMBER WOULD SOON BE UPON THEM AND THE ECHO WOULD GET WORSE THEN. MIKE WOULD ALSO BE LEAVING INDIA IN NOVEMBER TO BRING THEM THEIR NEW UNIFORMS. "YES, THE TANGO IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN CONQUER THAT AWFUL ECHO AROUND US ALL THE TIME!" SHOUTED SIERRA. "I WON'T ALLOW A SILLY ECHO TO BE THE ALPHA AND OMEGA OF MY LIFE," SIERRA CRIED. "SO, LET'S TANGO!" AFTER DANCING THE TANGO ALL NIGHT AND DRINKING LOTS OF WHISKEY, THE ECHO IN THEIR HEADS SLOWLY FADED. NOVEMBER WAS STILL FAR AWAY AND THE TANGO HAD EVEN MADE THE YANKEE FEEL BETTER. ECHOES OF INDIA STILL PLAGUED THEM WHEN THEY PLAYED GOLF AT THE HOTEL BUT THEN THEY JUST DANCED THE TANGO AND IT WENT AWAY. THE RIVER DELTA WAS A HOTSPOT OF ECHO ACTIVITY AND IT WAS RIGHT NEXT TO THE GOLF COURSE. ROMEO WAS SCARED OF THE ECHO AND THOUGHT THE ECHO WOULD MAKE SIERRA REFUSE TO DANCE THE TANGO WITH HIM. AT THE HOTEL IN INDIA, ROMEO HAD DANCED THE TANGO DESPITE THE ECHO BUT THIS TIME THE ECHO WAS MORE FRIGHTENING BECAUSE IT WAS ALMOST NOVEMBER. PAPA HAD HELPED OSCAR IN INDIA LAST NOVEMBER TO DANCE THE TANGO AND THE FOXTROT SO OSCAR GAVE HIS UNIFORM TO ROMEO AND TOLD HIM TO DO THE TANGO AND DRINK SOME WHISKEY. OSCAR COULDN'T TEACH HIM THE FOXTROT BUT AT LEAST OSCAR'S UNIFORM WOULD HELP ROMEO OVERCOME HIS FEARS. WHEN MIKE ARRIVED FROM INDIA IN NOVEMBER, HE BROUGHT BEAUTIFUL NEW UNIFORMS FOR EVERYONE. THEY DANCED THE TANGO LIKE NEVER BEFORE AND THE ECHO BECAME A DISTANT MEMORY. SIERRA LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER. MORALS OF THE STORY: - HOTELS IN INDIA IN NOVEMBER ARE THE BEST PLACE TO DO THE TANGO. INDIA IN NOVEMBER IS TRANSFORMED INTO THE TANGO HOTEL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD! - AN ECHO IS NOTHING TO BE FEARED. BRAVO TO ALL ALPHA MALES WHO HAVE CONQUERED THEIR FEARS LIKE SIERRA. ECHO WHO? - OSCAR SHOULD NEVER DO THE FOXTROT. HE SHOULD STICK TO THE TANGO. - HOTELS WITH ECHOES SHOULD NORMALLY BE AVOIDED. HOTELS WHERE YOU CAN WEAR UNIFORMS AND PLAY GOLF WITHOUT AN ECHO ARE RECOMMENDED. - SIERRA SHOULD NEVER GO TO INDIA TO PLAY GOLF IN NOVEMBER. - LIMA IS BETTER THAN INDIA AT THE FOXTROT BUT NOT THE TANGO. DANCING IN LIMA IS RECOMMENDED FOR OSCAR. - OSCAR AND SIERRA HAD TO OVERCOME THEIR FEAR OF ECHOES BEFORE THEY COULD HAVE A BABY. THEY NAMED HIM CHARLIE. OSCAR SAYS NOVEMBER IS CHARLIE'S FAVOURITE MONTH OF THE YEAR. - ROMEO WILL NEVER COMPLETELY CONQUER HIS FEAR OF ECHOES. - THE TANGO IS THE SOLUTION FOR ANY ANNOYING ECHO.
