they looked up at the sky together and saw dragons, crowns, and princesses in the clouds.

finally, she pointed at a specific one.

that one is ugly, she said.
which one? he asked. the one that actually looks like a cloud?

1. I danced hard enough not to notice my new shiny shoes broke already.

2. I still have trouble dancing on beat in salsa and would still like to correct that.

3. I still have trouble dancing on beat in life and would never like to correct that.

She was hungry all day, so she went to the market to buy an apple. She had plenty to choose from. She sorted and sorted through all of them, then came to a stop when one glistening apple caught her eye. It sat alone, resting on the top row. She picked it up and realized the back of it had a little scar. She was about to set it back down, but then she realized that everyone else who came to the market that day probably ignored it too, perhaps never even picking it up. It was barely touched, unlike all the others. After some thinking, she finally decided to buy it, despite the scar on the outside. When she walked home that day, she took a bite out of the apple. It satisfied her hunger well, and it tasted just as delicious as all the others.
