What Was I Scared Of?

Sat, 11 Jun 2011 00:14:57 +0000

"And there I was! Caught in the Snide!
And in that dreadful place,
Those spooky, empty pants and I
Were standing face to face!"

Perfect for Halloween or any time of year, this story delivers a timeless message about fear and tolerance. The tale begins with a character who repeatedly meets up with an empty pair of pale-green pants. The character is initially afraid of the pants, which are able to stand on their own despite the lack of a wearer. However when he screams for help and the pants also start to cry, he realizes that "They were just as scared as I!" Putting fear in the proper perspective, the empty pants become good friends with the character.

Yertle the Turtle - Dr. Seuss

Sat, 28 May 2011 00:43:23 +0000

"I'm ruler," said Yertle, "of all that I see.
but I don't see
enough.
That's the trouble with me.
If I could sit high, how much greater I'd be!
What a king! I'd be ruler of all I could see!"

Yertle the Turtle, the king of the pond, is unsatisfied with the small stone that serves as his throne. He commands the other turtles to stack themselves beneath him so that he can see further and expand his kingdom. As the stack of turtles get's higher and higher, poor Mack, the turtle at the very bottom of the pile, is in great pain. Mack asks Yertle for a brief rest, but Yertle just tells him to be quiet. Finally fed up with Yertle's abuse, the plain little turtle named Mack does something to upset the balance of power and free all the turtles.
