A Wise Person

A wise person once said to me:
‘My favourite colour is pink.’
‘Why is your favourite colour pink?’ I asked.
‘Because it's pink,’ the wise person replied.
The lesson in all this? You should never have to explain why you like something that is pure. S.H.

Sowing

‘The hardest field to reap is the one we sow ourselves’. I just made that up, thought it sounded kind of ok. S.H.

Do Squirrels Eat Toast?

Do squirrels eat toast? Why yes, they do. Don’t believe me? Well, then I’ll tell you the story. The year was 2004 and I remember it as clearly as if it was only six or so years ago. I was taking a light stroll in a north London park, as was my want of that period in my life, and I came across a squirrel in possession of a full piece of white toasted bread.I guess it could have actually just been a discarded slice of stale bread that looked like toast because it was rigid, but it looked like toast to me. I looked at the squirrel, the squirrel looked at me. To be honest it was quite awkward, after all, he was in the middle of his breakfast. How would you react if a six foot tall squirrel walked into your kitchen as you where about to hoe into a whopping bowl of cereal?
Anyways, I looked at him and he looked at me, as if to say ‘got any jam, buddy?’ As it so happened, I didn’t, but he didn’t ask so dignity was retained by both parties. Any how, in answer to your question, do squirrels eat toast? Yes they do, and they love it. S.H.
