Food For Thought?

Food For Thought?

"Why hay there, sorry it took me so long to get here but I decided to make everyone some food and gather up some sodas before coming to the oak tree today. I hope ham is OK? I just need some help getting it all over there."

"Now then, why don't we take a few moments to eat some food and then get started."

"I have been wondering what the young people today like to read in their spare time. You see I personally never learned in school and had to teach myself how to do it. Now if only I had the time to read everybook ever writen that would be bliss."

When I was young my little sister fell ill from a snake bite and couldn't sleep from the pain. Being young and impulsive myself I boldly declared that if she didn't have to sleep then neither did I. So I stayed up with her for 18 hours just reading her poems from an old book I had pilferd from the Library early in the morning that day.

Love what you're reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.

I read her that book for no other reason then Responsibility. You see it was my fault that she was in the field that day. It was my fault she ended up getting bit. So I took responsibility and made sure to stay at her side until she could recover. That is what good family does. Make sure you are OK.

Shortly after she recovered I tought my sister to read in the same fashion that I myself learned and fostered in her a lifelong love of the writen word. So much so that she became an author of some repute even in spite of the fact that she always made the name her books were published under into puns.

We ended up donating many of her books to librarys across the country so that others could have the joy that we found in reading.

You see my responsibility did not end with mearly inspiring my sister to love books, that was just the start of our journy into it.
