"I - I've lost my bow!" wailed Polychrome.
"Take me, my dear," said Shaggy Man in a sympathetic tone, thinking she meant "beau" instead of "bow."
"I don't want you!" cried Polychrome, stamping her foot imperiously; "I want my Rainbow."
"Oh; that's different," said Shaggy. "But try to forget it. When I was young I used to cry for the Rainbow myself, but I couldn't have it. Looks as if you can't have it, either; so please don't cry."
Polychrome looked at him reproachfully. "I don't like you," she said.
I had my students reading from the Freedom Writers' Book and it was journal entry about a young boy killed in gang violence. I told everyone they would have to read a paragraph as we were going along. Usually they hate this - they all did it and there was this profound silence in the room. It was so great! I love when they "get" it! It makes me feel good!
