Grimm's Fairy Tales #8
Here is another Grimm's Fairy Tale entitled 'The Death of the Little Hen'. This is the story that could be about being greedy for the little hen did not want to share a nut with a friend. The friend did try help by trying to fetch some water, but when he went to ask everyone wanted something. The friend was too late to save the little hen, and she died. The friend cried for his friend so loudly that other animals came, and they built a carriage and helped him take the little hen to be buried. They came to a stream and to figure a way to cross. They all tried to help but in the end the friend was alone to bury the little hen and cried till he died. This could be a lesson on learning about death and coping and how one copes with a death of a friend. It did seem that the other animals wanted to help, but could their real reason be for helping the friend. Please share your thoughts and it will be greatly appreciated.

Grimm's Fairy Tales #7
Here is another very short fairy tale from Grimm's Fairy Tales entitled 'The Water Nixie'. This a tale of two young children who were playing beside a well and fell in it. The nixie appeared and took them to her place and made them work using tools that made the jobs very hard. The children had to find a way to escape this magical place and get home somehow. They used a few tools from a brush to a comb to a mirror to keep the nixie from catching them. I am not sure of this one, but I think the lesson would be to be careful when playing around wells or any place where water is present for one never knows what may be lurking in the depths. This one could teach about trusting others as well as maybe teaching about 'Stranger Danger'. Please share your ideas on this one. I would appreciate it very much.

Grimm's Fairy Tales #6
Here is a very short Grimm's Fairy Tale entitled 'The Fox and The Geese'. This tale is only a few short paragraphs yet to me very descriptive. To me this is a very short story for the power of prayer. The fox one day came up to a group of geese and told them that were going to die for he planned on eating them. Then one goose spoke up and asked for one thing before they were set to die and that was to say a prayer. The fox will be given his choice of the fattest goose but will he for the story is still going on for the prayer the geese are saying is still going. "Ga, Ga."

Tin Cans?
What can one person or a whole group do with a bunch of tin cans? What good are they? To me there are a lot of good uses for these objects of various sizes. Looking at the picture they can be used for target practice. You could set up for a game of nine pin or something along that route. Tin cans can also be used for planting seedlings for some varieties of flowers and vegetables. Some have even used them to make alarm systems for various reasons. I just thought of this they could be turned into little lights of some kind. Maybe if a person is good with wiring, one could drill little holes in the bottom of the can and put a plug there and on the inside the fixings for the little light bulb. Who remembers the game of Telephone where two cans are joined by a string and a long time ago young kids would act like they were calling their friends like their parents do. As you see I have came up with a lot of uses for old tin cans. In a poem I just published here on Vocal I thought tin cans would make great planters for seedlings of some kind or another. One old idea one could always decorate them somehow for a pencil holder or some sort of holder for some various small objects. If anyone else has any other ideas, please share and if no ideas come to mind one can also take them to a recycling center to be smashed and sent somewhere to be turned into something else perhaps a part of a bike or even a part of a car or turned into a wagon of some sort the kids pull around. There are many options.

Why Do The Games in Squid Game S2 Show Real-Life Struggles
Many people have been anxiously awaiting the second season of Squid Game, the most-watched show on Netflix. To win prizes in the first season, players had to compete in several lethal kid-friendly games. The upcoming season, which is also expected to break yet another Netflix record, delves deeper into the limitations and economic background of the surrealistic games. Green light, red light. When the song starts, move forward; when it ends, freeze. It's a fairly easy game. Or is it that moving after the music has stopped carries a death sentence? It was clear from the first season that Squid Game allegorizes the horrors of capitalism through kid-friendly games. Three years later, the second season of arguably the most significant television program of our time advances its adamantly anti-capitalist theme. It accomplishes this by exposing the illusion of "choice" in a system threatening to starve the great majority. In this article, I dive deeper into the dystopian nuances of capitalism and the illusion of choice that stir up scenarios very similar to reality.

Trump 2.0: Can Disruption Deliver a New Era?
Donald Trump, one of the most polarizing figures in modern American history, stands at the dawn of a second term, poised once again to challenge the status quo. His re-election, driven by a combination of his unapologetic style, economic promises, and the unwavering loyalty of his base, signals a renewed commitment to disrupting Washington and reshaping the global order. Yet, while his resolve has only strengthened, questions linger about how far his brand of disruption can go in an increasingly polarized political landscape.
