Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for August 01, 2004
Transcript:
Alix: Gasp!? The pool's empty!! Val: "Temporarily closed for repairs." Alix: It looks so...lonely. Val: It's just cement and tile, honey. It doesn't have feelings. Alix: Just cement and tile?! Maybe when it's empty... But fill it with water and it becomes the essence of summer! Fill it with water and it reflects back sky, clouds and laughter! Fill it with water and it sings! Val: Wow. Alix: You're standing on holy ground, Mom. Show some respect.
I think that if Alix were real, she could definitely become a writer.
