My Dear Little Friend;
I am sorry I didn't call on the day of your birthday. It was snowing
and I was busy counting the drops of snow flakes which broke my
window.
Because I have five windows, and all of them are small, and if
snow flakes break a small tiny bit of glass, all my windows freeze
to death, then they all turn pink and re-evacuate the sunshine.
There is a big chimney on the way to the library that I have spotted
by the railroad. It is the house of three little whispers. I asked
them the other day, if I could take the chimney home.
Yes, answered the first one, but there are oranges growing from
its bricks, and we eat those oranges in the summer time. You can
take it if you bring us books with pictures of oranges in it. And
feed us pudding with jelly in the afternoon.
No, answered the second one, I have my bed by the window, and the
sound of leaves mating make me sleep and wake me up all the time,
I can never dream of sharing my window.
Yes, answered the third one, take the filthy chimney and plant
some geraniums in it, we are better off in a drawer.
So, I didn't take it, because the library closes after 6:00 PM,
and there are no books with pictures of oranges, and I Knew it was
not wise to trust a whisper and its shadow, no matter how honey
like they really were.
My mother comes to town this afternoon, so we could buy some water
to plant a tree by the pool and protect the birds from falling from
the air. I think I have done all I am supposed to do in day and
a night. Don't you think?
I will write again, as soon as I get a chair and two boxes where
I can store my thoughts, and keep some to share with you, my strawberry
coloured non-stranger.
