Night and Day My teacher asked me yesterday to tell what makes it night and day. I knew I could get that one right. I said, "I make it day and night." My teacher's pride seemed to deflate. I thought I should elaborate: "See at day's end my eyes close tight that makes it dark, so then it's night. Then when I wake I open my eyes, and that's what makes the ol' sun rise." At least that's how it seems to me. My teacher seemed to disagree. Copyright © 2004, Robert Pottle All Rights Reserved |
