Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for January 28, 2004
Transcript:
Gramma Evie: I kind of like these big storms. Nothing to do but read and make cookies. Val: I can catch up on laundry and pay bills. Holly & Alix: We got new videos and computer games for Christmas! Holly: Mom? Where do we keep the backup generator? Val: At the hardware store.
Well, as long as they have a gas stove, Evie can still make cookies by candlelight or standing flashlight, as well as read, and Val can still pay bills. And it wouldn’t be that dark, during the day.
