I was helpless and tried to reach out for her hand, but all I could hear was giggles and helter-skelter steps that I could not trace since was blindfolded.
At first, I cursed myself for coming forward to play this game, then breathe deep and tried to follow the sounds in my surroundings.

The Squirrel and the Compact Disc
"Sheesh she took it again," lamented Karly as she saw the branch that once had a cherry growing.
"I told you...let's pluck it." she reminded in an aggravated tone.
"But what's the use of an immature fruit. No one would have been able to eat it at home" Mom commented.
"Well, the squirrel did," Karly said while wiping her tears and removing those CDs from the branches that were hanging like
