she carefully patted and scooped
and shaped
and built.
and she went off to gather stones.
and a boy came by and he took the feather right out of her castle
and he threw it into the water.
she didn't cry, she didn't even show her anger
she looked up and she got up and she waded into the water, and collected her feather
and placed it back where it belonged.
Love this.

ReplyDeleteWhat a determined little cutie! My kids have such a fascination for feathers, too! If we had every feather they have ever collected, we could build our own bird! LOL.
