The Topic:
In The Bowl
You and Mom are
making cookies. Mom turns around to turn the oven on, leaving you
to stir the mixture in the bowl. Before your eyes, a cookie man pops us
and begins to dance in the bowl. What do you do?
The Topic:
Talk, My Friend
It’s been a terrible
day. You have gone to the stables to talk to your horse. Your horse is
a friend. He will listen. As you pour out your heart to your horse, your
friend, he nods his head as if he understands. Just then, you hear a rustling
in the hay behind you. You turn to look but see no one. “It’s nothing,”
a voice says. “Keep talking.” You quickly scan the entire barn for signs
of a human. There is no one in the stable but you and your horse. Could
the horse have talked?
