No Idea!

Missing Melody

 

What is that?
A map.
Of what?
No idea.
North Pole?
No.
South Pole?
No.

No idea.
Speak louder, my hearing aid is not charged.
NO IDEA.
No need to shout.
You told me... Ok, never mind.
So, it's not the North Pole or the South Pole.
Nope.
What is it then?
I don't know, I forgot to bring my glasses.
Aviator's map?
No.
Well, when I look at it this way, it kind of looks like a squirrel.
A what?

Short circuit alert. Later.
It's a squirrel, I tell ya!

She would always hold a book and ask the kids to "read" from it. On each page, nothing but a few smudges and a handful of lost letters. The kids would then come up with a story. She would write it down on the blackboard, making everyone cringe and giggle when the chalk squeaked. The story would be copied to a notebook which would find its way onto a bookshelf. The next day, the same old smudges, the same old lost letters would inspire a new story. She hoped the kids would remember this for the rest of their lives.
