| Little Lost One overly interested in all the things of the world. For this reason he often daydreamed of imaginary things, of how he thought life should be, and motorized swings. When he was young, he only thought of things that he thought were fun, and didn't pay attention to others in school. Now little lost one was a duck, who didn't have much luck, when it came to being on time, because he was always daydreaming, but with him this was fine. Until one day he wasn't paying attention, and was dreaming about play, and didn't notice the school bus he got on wasn't going his way. While in route, he began to doubt, when and if he was going to make it home in time for dinner. It was getting late, and his mother began to worry because he always got off the buss at 4:20. When he got home at last, his mother was mad, and made him take out the trash. The next day came, and as always the same, he was daydreaming, and was late again, and missed the school buss. It then began to rain. He started walking to school, and as he walked, he thought and thought why he never paid attention. And as he thought, he found himself lost in the woods. Oh how he wished he could pay attention like he should. Now he thought about a story he once heard, about a goose that once got loose from a farmer, and was now the smartest creature of the wood. Perhaps if he could ask her how, to pay attention, she would teach him. Just then he heard a loud noise, and his hair stood on end! He thought of all the dangers he had heard about getting lost in the woods, and then he was scared! He wanted to run, but he didn't know where when a moose jumped out of the bush, and stared straight at him! Little lost one knew he was fast, but not enough to out run a" MOOSE"! Little lost ones eyes grew wide with fright! He saw the moose’s teeth, and thought he might bite! Then the moose smiled and said," Come child, and stay awhile. You are no doubt, lost. Let us sit down and talk of your troubles. Then we will get you back to where you are supposed to be, on the double. It seems to me you think too much, of how things are, and how you think they should be". The moose then bowed his head whispered and said," Think of tomorrow, but act today, in this way you will pay attention today, and act on your thoughts tomorrow, living your dreams... Not getting lost!". Little lost one said," thank you Mr. Moose. Now, I don't suppose you know where I could find the goose that got loose from the farmer do you?” The moose laughed and said," Who put that in your head? It wasn't a goose that got loose. It was I, Mr. Moose," and he showed him the scars from the cart the farmer made him pull. Then he said," Now it is time for you to go. Follow me, and I will show you the way. When he got home, he was listening to what his mother had to say about his missing school that day, when once again his mind began to stray, and he wasn't paying attention. He was thinking about what he could do tomorrow, that he learned today. The End |
