So if blueberries were something you could drive and an automobile was something you ate then what would a strawberry ford taste like? I'm not to sure. If I was walking through the park and saw a green lunchbox would I want to take it home or build a museum out of it? I'm not to sure. The world is round and we all live on a patch of it, yet there is hundreds of miles untouched or is there? I'm not to sure. If people say you are crazy and you start to do back flips does that make you crazy? I'm not to sure. Rings are for fingers and hula hoops are round but they are for the waist does that mean a ring can't fit your waist? I'm not to sure. Does the little girl in the picture look like her head is going to explode or is she putting her head back on? I'm not to sure. So, there was a man who lived on a hill that no one knew of or even heard of. He would make his own furniture out of trees and dirt. He had all the supplies needed to survive and quite frankly knew no different. One day as he was gathering dirt and wood he saw a red moving object that scared him and intrigued him at the same time. Baffled at this sight he dropped what he had gathered and ran as fast as he could to his home. For sometime he just sat and rocked in his handmade chair scratching his head wondering what that red thing could possibly be. It was getting dark when he realized he'd been sitting for hours and not doing much else. He was getting hungry and still thinking of the red thing he got up and started to make a meal. His favorite meal was leaves mixed with berries and a little tree bark for some added flavor. While eating his meal he was distracted by the squirrel that came by every night for some scraps the man would give him. He fed that squirrel since it was a little guy and has seen the family the squirrel had made. There were 3 babies and a mama squirrel. Papa squirrel would always take the scraps and feed the babies and the mama squirrel before he would eat. The man had never seen a dog or cat and didn't know the meaning of a "man's best friend" but he was sure fond of this squirrel. All this time living on this hill and this man never questioned why or where he came from. It just was what it was. The next day the man started out the same as the other days and went out to get his dirt and twigs. It was a beautiful sunny day and a slight breeze was blowing. All of the sudden he heard a noise he'd never heard before. This time it wasn't a red thing it was a huge colorful thing floating through the air. Well, this was the end of all things. He was so amazed and frightened by this huge floating thing he dropped everything and ran as fast as he could back to his safe place. Which for him was home! Once again he sat in his handmade chair just a rocking back and forth with a very puzzled face. Staring into the open for what seemed to be hours and hours. Again just like clock work the squirrel showed up but there were no scraps. The man was so confused at what he seen he forgot to make dinner. He went to bed without even thinking about food. The squirrel knew something was very wrong with his friend and decided to collect dinner for the man. He was busy collecting nuts and berries which was hard work for a squirrel. He could not carry much because his hands were so small. It took some time but the squirrel managed to collect enough for the man and his little family. It was morning time before the man knew and once again he headed out into the hills for more supplies. This time the squirrel decided to follow the man and try to figure out what got his friend so baffled. It didn't take long for the squirrel to figure out what was happening. You see the man did not realize on the other side of the huge hill was a city. Yes, a fast growing fast paced city that the squirrel always knew about but the man had no idea. The squirrel had to think fast and try and figure a way to lead the man to that side of the hill to show him what it was that was scaring him and confusing him. So he got the mans attention and lead him to the edge of the hill where the city was and stood on his hind legs to show the man what it was that had him baffled. The man's eyes got as big as apples and he nearly fainted at what he saw. He looked down at the squirrel as if to say thank you for showing him what it was that had him troubled and wasn't scared anymore. Both man and squirrel went about there business as usual from there on out.
THE END
