I saw something fabulous today. It was a very small child standing in front of a very deep puddle. She was in a bright red raincoat and boots, and her mummy was imploring, "No, don't jump in there. Those aren't the right boots for it..."
"Come on, go around," her mummy's friend chimed in, "If you don't, the water will soak right through your boots and your feet will get all wet."
"And then you won't be able to wear those boots again." Her mummy added.
The girl remained staring solemnly at the puddle.
Her mummy caught my eye as I stood watching and laughed, narrating, "Will she go to the side of good? or to the side of evil?"
After a while her mummy said "Do you want to put on your shoes and jump in the puddle?"
and a very small voice said " 'es."
