How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World
Making an apple pie is really very easy. First, buy all the ingredients at the market. Mix them well, bake, and serve.

Unless, of course, the market happens to be closed.

In that case, find another dang market in the next town. This is America. There’s a Walmart on every corner. Make your pie, see a tiny slice of life outside your own town’s bubble, and eat the pie. The End.

Harold and the Purple Crayon
One evening, after thinking it over for some time, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight.

There wasn’t any moon, so Harold began to draw one, but then his mother came in. “Go back to bed immediately, Harold,” she said. “You’re four years old and wearing seat-buttoning footie pajamas — you can’t go out at night by yourself, for heaven’s sake. Here is a pad of paper. You can draw in bed until you fall asleep.”

So Harold went to bed with an age-appropriate activity and soon dropped off to sleep. The End.

King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub
“Help, help!” cried the Page when the sun came up. “King Bidgood’s in the bathtub and he won’t get out! Oh, who knows what to do?”

“I do!” cried the Queen when the sun came up. “I’m perfectly competent to rule this kingdom! Let him turn into a prune if he wants to. Where are my ministers?”

And the Queen called the shots from there on out and the kingdom lived in peace.

THE LEARNING HUB: To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool, To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement, To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return, To live is to risk dying, To hope is to risk despair, To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. ~Leo Buscaglia (Art: Photograph by Izis Bidermanas) ©THE LEARNING HUB 2023
