What Do You Think ?

by Tom Horonzy


 
Look!

Where?
 
There. In the sky.
 
What can that be? A star?
 
I don't know. It's awfully bright.
 
But what a sight.
 
Yes. Its light lights up the street.
 
Might it be ... a sign?
 
What sort of sign?
 
An omen of things to come.
 
Like when baby Jesus was born?
 
Yes. Exactly.
 
Such a star lit the way for the Magi.
 
Are you suggesting we follow it?
 
On bikes? It'd be pretty difficult.
 
You're right. Look at the traffic.

Well, it is the Black Friday after Thanksgiving.
 
We could wait until the big sale ends?
 
Really? Do you think it will still be there?
 
What if it's overcast? And raining?
 
Besides, mother told us to be in by ten.
 
Rats! Foiled again.
 
Let's pretend we never saw it.
 
Yes, men have done that all their lives.
 
And ended up getting lost.
 
Come on. Let's go get some ice cream.

At Ben and Jerry's?
 
Where else?
