The puppet thought about it, looked at the puppet master, and said 'I would rather crawl on my knees for the rest of my life than have your strings back.' Then it went quiet and a big sunbeam shone down on the puppet as she slowly stood up and very gently, put one foot in front of the other until she was able to walk all the way to the divorce court. Today that little puppet can run, skip and jump and if she falls down, can get up all on her own.<br />Smiles and blessingsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519113151629385676.post-83456777775247416482010-07-09T14:30:37.232-07:002010-07-09T14:30:37.232-07:00Could you, please, lend me a pair of scissors???Could you, please, lend me a pair of scissors???Vania Moreirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882667159058812850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519113151629385676.post-36205664515778108342010-07-09T13:23:51.108-07:002010-07-09T13:23:51.108-07:00I know.
