Ready, Set, Ing-GO!

"Inggo: The Flash. Inggo: Most Valuable Player!"

- Inggo

 'Ready, Set, Ing-GO!', also known as 'Ready, Get Set, Ing-GO!', is an episode of Karen's World, aired in 2002.

Synopsis
Inggo gets interested in the game Sepak Takraw, while he learns an easy way to comprehend paragraphs relating to it.

Act I
Inggo imagines himself as a sport superstar, when two boys named Atoy and Dondon of Inggo's age introduce him to a new sport called Sepak Takraw. They hand him a flyer, which he relies on Karen to understand. She introduces him to key sentences, or sentences which express the main idea of a paragraph. When Karen asks him to find the key sentence of the other paragraph, he incorrectly answers the first sentence. Karen reminds him that the key sentence can be anywhere, whether it would be in the beginning, middle, or end.

Act II
When Inggo and Karen arrive at the try-outs, she expresses reservations over Inggo's constant stretching. When his number (28) gets called, we are shown a montage of the game's finest events. Unfortunately, Atoy was chosen and not Inggo and Dondon. Karen asks them to look cheerfully over his win, as it is a sign of compassion. But before the others get to practice, Inggo falls down.

Act III
Inggo returns to his plains miserable, but Karen is happy for him because of his showmanship. He look optimistically that he has decided his sport, until he sees Atoy and Dondon play with sticks, which turns out to be another sport. The stinger shows he now has difficulty choosing.

Trivia

 * Technically, Inggo does not have the ability to try-out again next year, because Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say reveals he is 18 as of 2002. Given that all episodes were released in that year, and the tryouts only allow people between 12 and 18, it is safe to say he will not make it again.
 * The Sepak Takraw arena is the only indoor place that is not in the plains.
 * The episode has a callback on Idiomatic Expressions, resulted from Inggo misunderstanding the meaning of 'break a leg'.

Errors

 * The placement of the balls and the boys is inconsistent in some shots.
