According to the publication information, it was just possible for me to read this as a Cub Scout. I don’t think I actually did, but the date fits a very small window of time.
It was a nice, simple story that would have certainly triggered relatability, understanding, a bit of horror, and wonder in me at the time it was published. So many years later, as an adult and a parent, I love that it was presented for children with such rich context and such an open ending. Lots and lots for boys to think about after reading it.
Kris, I probably missed this story the first time around. Thanks so much for sharing it with me again, and I wish you and Dean a happy new year!
At 71, it is a bit cornball; at 12, finishing up my 1st Class badges, it would have been a thought-provoking life lesson. Another solid base hit, Kristine Kathryn.
Merry Christmas, Ms. Rusch. Thank you for the wonderful story.
Schmaltz.
What a perfectly delightful story to read on Christmas Eve. Thank you so much, and have a Merry Christmas (Dean as well).
