Long Ago
With no siblings or neighbors in my age group, I used to do what I could to amuse myself as a child. One of these activities was ’saving wildlife.’ Although, if I remember correctly, I caused more harm for the wildlife than rescuing. With my imagination, a jar, and a few scurrying lizards–I was on my way. I saved the creatures. Put them in their own solitary containment, and left them be. Too bad I left the jar out in the heat of 100 degrees Fahrenheit weather. Poor fellows didn’t stand a chance. And I never knew. In this case; innocence appeared as a brutal punishment to those who did not deserve so.
