But what really drew her little feet to him was the whole different universe he carried on his shoulder. For the first few days, she observed in wonder as he sat with the village heads, dug into his bag and laid out his wares; a set of detailed maps, a compass, pencils in myriad colors, blank sheets of paper and a monster of a camera that clasped his neck all day.

And from then on, everyday, he would reach into his bag and pull out something for his faithful little companion. A few days ago it was a golden paper star, yesterday it was a toffee, and today, an eraser shaped like a rabbit. They never spoke in words, these two, only smiles and shapes. And she woke up every morning wondering what part of his wide exciting world he would share with her that day!

These Days...

...You know that people have reached the end of their tether and you've got to take them seriously when they say, "Dude seriously, not cool!"

Will the Boy...

Will the boy that my mother's trying to find me please show up?
Because the one I'd like is being fiercely guarded by a shield of better sense and ambition!
