Polly knows her name and how to sit and roll. When she gets a bone, she’ll dig a giant hole But Anna always thought, how happy I would be if Polly could talk just like me. It would be more fun than an ice cream cone. We could talk for hours, and I’d never been alone. I’d say, “Miss Polly how do you like my dress? What is your favorite color, and let’s not make a mess.” When Christmas was coming, she could be my spy, and tell what presents were hidden up high. Later that day Daddy took them for a walk. She asked her father, “Why can’t dogs talk? If I were God they could talk just like me. I’d never be alone with Polly’s company.” “I think,” replied her father, “you have not thought it through. God knew what He was doing or she’d talk just like you.” “She may always be complaining about not getting meat, or say, we should both get the same things to eat.”

Peter Pillow

jhflsniderman — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 04:52:26 +0000

A delightful little tale about an overly emotional, animated pillow that loves to be fluffed and folded by the kids he watches over nightly. See what happens when the kids aren't there one night.
