THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET( short 23/50 )

You know why the right sole is more worn out than the left one?

Because one of your legs is shorter than the other?

Nope. Because these shoes belong to Johnny Cash He always kept the beat.

You think the dead sparrow in your kitchen right when you were born is a more credible story?

That's what mom told me.

Your mother gave birth in the kitchen?

You see?

What?

The Sparrow.

Once Upon a time there was a sparrow that was very ill didn't have the strength to go south.

Go without me, he told his children.

I'll find shelter from the cold and I'll see you in spring.

So, did he survive?

The bird went to an oak tree and asked if he could take shelter in his leaves.

But the oak was, the cold and arrogant tree./he refused.

The peach, the aspen, the willow, the elm, they all said no, can you believe this?

I guess.
