"The Education of Little Tree" is a great book. Thanks kc for your recommendation. Last night I read the chapter, "A Night On the Mountain" twice and I laughed till I cried, and continued laughing even today while I was working. Mr. Chunk and Mr. Slick, 2 characters with a get-rich scheme that turned into a nightmare. Okay not a hellish nightmare (although they may have thought they were in hell), but a survivable nightmare. A quote from the book, on Sharing Little Tree, "Granma said when you come on something good, first thing to do is share it with whoever you can find; that way, the good spreads out where no telling it will go. Which is right." Another quote, "Little Tree is more than a touching account of 1930's depression-era life. This book is a human document of universal meaning. The Education of Little Tree speaks to the human spirit and reaches the very depth of the human soul." My goodness, you are right kc, it's like we have lost our way, our souls. But we still have each other and we do the best we can in this world that we live in. I just thought of the song by Pink Floyd, "Welcome To The Machine". Gotta go, I'm thinking too much again.
