Brown and Blue Eyes |
---|
She had big brown eyes. |
Her sister had big blue eyes. |
Her brother had big green eyes. |
Her mother had a gray eye and a green eye. |
Her father had black eyes. |
“Why are our eyes different?” she asked her mom. |
“Who knows?” said her mom. |
“Life is strange. |
It is full of mystery. |
This is a mystery to all of us.” |
She asked her teacher. |
She asked the doctor. |
She asked the nurse. |
She asked the mailman. |
Nobody knew why her family had different color eyes. |
Finally she asked the librarian. |
A librarian reads a lot. |
A librarian works in the library. |
A librarian is surrounded by books. |
Books have information. |
Lots of information. |
The librarian looked in all her books. |
She called other librarians. |
They looked in all their books. |
Still, nobody knew the answer. |
“I’m sorry, little girl,” the librarian said.” |
Maybe someone will invent a computer someday. |
Then I will give you an answer. |
But for now, your big brown eyes |
and your sister’s big blue eyes are a big mystery.” |
