I was walking down the sidewalk when I saw Friday, drunk and sitting against the wall, drinking from a bottle of Manischewitz wine.
Friday said, “Hey, Brooks, whydoncha’ come and join me?”
I said that I couldn’t because I had things to do.
Friday said, “So doo-whi, but ya dond see me runnin’ round with a cwazy head.”
I said okay, sat down, and took a swig. It was Elderberry and it tasted just like pie!!
I climbed the tallest tree in the forest. I got up as near the top as I could. The tree top swayed in the wind.
A bird flew by and landed on my head.
I said, “What a view!”
The bird said, “I know. I never get tired of it!”
Hi. I was remembering back to when we took our walk around the world. We were doing well all across the United States, but stopped when we got to the Atlantic Ocean. You said if we held our breath underwater, we could keep going. I agreed and we continued going.
After a while of walking on the bottom of the Ocean, I signaled to you that I thought I couldn’t hold my breath anymore. You smiled, gave me a thumbs up, and mouthed, “You can do this.” This renewed my faith.
I was able to hold my breath and keep walking till we surfaced on the beach in Morocco!
I went to the well for water. I dropped the bucket into the well and watched it splash into the water below. The water flew up towards my face. I leaned forward too far to try and drink it, and fell in.
While down there, I cupped water to my mouth and took a few gulps. Then I climbed the bucket’s rope till I got to the top, and got out. I was drenched.
I smiled at my dog Rexy, who had accompanied me to the well. She said, “You seem to have no qualms about looking like an idiot.” I agreed. I said that it keeps me sprightly.
