Do You Remember?
When I was younger, I could tell you everyone's phone number. Digital hadn't been invented yet and the phone book was what we used to look-up any numbers we didn't know. For the most part though,I had numbers stuck in my head for my friends, my family and my home.Most of us were walking phone books. Now, we have speed dial or numbers listed in our phones under the names of the people we want to talk with.How many of us can remember all fo the numbers that we need in our lives? In this excerpt, a woman is helpless because of this vary thing. Thank goodness she has someone who can help her in her time of need! The Imagination Stone.
Book Excerpt
The Imagination Stone
