This book is a small mixture of experiences in this country and abroad as well as some fictional tales. Mother Nature can be so cruel and laughs and laughs at life's problems. The first story reminds us not to put all your eggs in one basket as the consequences may be more than just an omelette. The next two stories involve encounters with insects, often not too pleasant in some cases. These are followed by a warning on how careful you have to be eating some of Mother Nature's fruits. Is it good to be polite? The next story examines the consequences for a woman named Alice and how self has become the norm. To brighten things up a bit the next tale relates to how little children, if let loose, can cause chaos, especially in a carol service. Finally you may think your name is peculiar, but take a look at the names given in italics in this set of verses in this last chapter. They are all real people having names on censuses and provide good examples for those looking for interesting characters for writing stories.
