Ella on Poverty

Ella:  Mom, it wouldn't be so bad to be poor,  you know.

Cathleen:  What do you mean?

Ella:  Well, if you were poor, you would probably still have paper and something to write with, so you could just write all of your own books.  Then you could read all of the time.

Cathleen:  I'm not so sure.  I certainly don't know if I could write a book.  

Ella:  Sure you could.  Just listen to me.  I'll make a book right now.

Oh moon, are you still here at night

when the trees rustle,

when the stars shine so bright,

are you still shining?

I love you so much moon. 

See mommy, wasn't that easy?
