The Answer

Roy Westbrook        Walking across the chicken yard, in my bare feet, I could feel a dampness begin to ooze between my toes. My sister had the right idea and wore her shoes. We went to the back of the chicken house and climbed on top.  In a flash, I stumbled and slid off the roof. Just as I went over the edge, a nail snagged my jeans. There I was hanging upside down. While I screamed and thrashed about, my sister did her best to help. Her arms just weren't long enough to reach me. So, she got off the building and ran for Grandmother. When she found her in the garden, she tugged at her shirt and yelled. "Patricia needs you!  Patricia needs you!" As fast as she could, grandmother came to my rescue.      After things had calmed down and grandmother went back to her chores, my sister and I went into the house to get a drink.  Then, once again, we walked outside into the morning air searching for something else to explore. The Answer A man looked up toward Heaven and shouted.
