Little Sally is a pretty child of ten years. She’s in foster care, and has been since she was eight years old. Sally has long blond hair that shines in the sun on the school playground. Sally loves to play on the school playground. She has a lot of good friends there. The kids swing on the swings, play on the Jungle Jim, and slide down the sliding board. Sally is also a little bit willful. She would play on the playground all night if you gave her a choice. Her foster mother drives to the playground, and tells her to come home. Sally doesn’t want to go home. Sally resists. The foster mother grabs Sally by her long hair, and starts to drag the screaming child towards her car. Sally screams, and screams. The foster mother drags the screaming child across the playground, and to her car in the parking lot. Life in foster care isn’t much fun for Sally. She would like to go back to her real home, or almost anywhere. Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (05-09-2008 08:50 PM).] |

Thanks Yann, Yes, all children do deserve love. The book Felix is done. I've started in on writing about Felix's wife Sally. Bobby |

Poor Sally, I understand where she is coming from. When I was a child I never wanted to leave my "play world" either. Ida |

Thanks dear Ida, Yes, what happened to Sally in foster care was not a good thing. It was Sally and Felix against the world. They made it though. Love Bobby |

Thanks dear RDB, Yes it is sad. Bad things often happen to nice people. It shouldn't happen to so called "bad" people either. Bobby |
