    I am the youngest of 10 children, needless to say, I did a lot of baby sitting. That is where I learned how to tell stories. My nieces and nephews would challenge me, they would ask me to tell a story about various objects or animals. Then they would give me a minute or so, and I would have to think of a story. That was the fun part, watching their faces as I told them a story about something they thought was just an object. I hoped it made their imaginations grow just as much as it did mine.

They loved each other so much they never wanted to be apart.

      One bright, sunny day, they were busy playing when they noticed the sun wasn’t as bright as usual. So they looked up at the sky and asked the sun what was wrong. The sun opened her tired eyes and said, "I am
