We are getting a chance to see what it would be like to live at the North Pole. We could get some dogs to pull our sleds and do away with expensive cars. That would be one way to cut down on government expense. Another way would be for all the members of congress to take part of their salaries and let that money help in this low-income time. Why should ordinary people stand all the expenses? After all, these Congress members have been eating high on the hog for a long time. If you get to Washington D.C., look around at all the buildings and think of all the people who have jobs there.
If you saw this headline in the paper, what would you think?
“Rare sea turtles fly south,” wouldn’t you think that some unusual creatures had been discovered? I did, but learned they were flying in airplanes. Aren’t turtles ugly? Some people like turtle soup. When my dad was a boy, he found a small snapping turtle in the pasture. He was having fun teasing it and stuck his tongue out at it.
The turtle grabbed it and held on. His sister, who was close to his age, ran to the house to get a butcher knife to cut the turtle loose.
By the time she returned he had gotten loose. It is a good thing because she might have cut her brother in the excitement.
