![]() Farmer Small wasn't too happy today when I finally caught up with him. "What's up? " I asked. "Look how big this is now," he said pointing to the mystery vegetable. "I thought you liked big vegetables," I said. "This is too big - I could get squashed by this thing!" "That's funny," I said. "It's not funny," he shouted. " I'm serious!" Enraged, he tried to stamp his plastic foot, which didn't work because his plastic legs don't bend. "I thought you were making a joke, you know, squashed by a squash . . ." Apparently Farmer Small was not joking. I left him muttering about his thoughts and fears and went inside to write. Next time I can't find Farmer Small I will, however, check under the mystery vegetable . . . just in case. Comments are closed.
