Once, a tree grew.
It's leaves sprouted, each with a new, thrilling idea.
The leaves fell
Into the rushing river,
shooting down the wild, adventurous ideas.
The leaves went down, down, down the river.
A little girl collected the ideas for her story in a basket.
And that little girl was me.
Because Imagination is the spark of life.
