I watch my heart engulfed in burning flame
The colors of my childhood turn to black
I search throughout but find no one to blame
So much of my life I will not get back

The fire moves fast and consumes it all
Table, seats, photo albums, Christmas tree
I sorrow that this misfortune did fall
But it cannot destroy my memory

With everything ash, I have what I need
Your arms around me, the hope in my heart
All my possessions had filled me with greed
I now look forward to another start

Come with me love on a lovely journey
Vagabonds we both shall be—lost and free.

The Beginning of Brown

James and Noel sat on the steps of their new house. It was going to be a hot day, but the boys preferred sitting outside to unpacking more boxes inside. Their mom was unpacking kitchen stuff, and the boys had grown tired of hearing her exclaim every time she unwrapped another of the teapots she hadn't seen in months.
"You'd think she'd have enough teapots by now," said James.
"Yeah," said Noel, "I don't get that excited about my Godzilla collection and that is way more interesting than any teapot."
"And I’m sorry," said James, "but I know way too much about teapots for a boy my age."
James then started listing all the things he knew about teapots. "There's the spout and the pouring angle," he began. But Noel had already tuned James out. The heat was rising and as tired as he was of his mother's teapots, he was more tired of James' complaining.
Besides, there was a raggedy old dog down the street. Noel could tell, even from far away, this was a dog that belonged to no one. Its coat was matted. It had no collar. All he could see of the dog's face was its nose sticking out. Its coat was all brown, but a dirty, grayish brown, not the deep dark warm brown that made you feel safe.
"And there's that teapot with the flowers. The brown one with the little dots all in a row," James continued on his rant, now listing all the teapots he had unwrapped for Mom. Noel continued ignoring James and watched the dog.
It was moving slowly in their general direction. It stopped at various spots along the curb to smell things. Sometimes the smelling took a very long time. Every now and then it would sit down to scratch behind its ear. Noel wondered if it was looking for something to eat.
James jabbered on and Noel began to wonder how a dog came to be in such a sad condition as this one. Did no one ever want it? Even as a puppy, was this fellow not cute enough to find a good family? Had it always been this ugly? Hadn't anyone ever been kind to it? The dog was across the street now, one house over. It seemed to be particularly attracted to mailboxes and the plants around them. To Noel's mind, it appeared that the dog was greeting each family on the street.
Noel watched the dog cross the street heading in their direction. He hadn't noticed it before, but the dog's head seemed rather large. It swung back and forth in front of its body, much like the bears Noel had seen at the zoo and on television. Noel could not see any eyes through all the matted hair. He could see gnats and flies hovering over the poor thing, waiting for it to sit down again.
It lumbered toward them. Noel noticed that James had stopped talking. He looked over at his brother. Staring at the dog, James seemed to be a bit shocked or surprised, maybe even stunned.
"What is that?" James whispered.
Instead of sniffing their mailbox and moving on like before, the dog started up the sidewalk toward the steps where they were sitting. Noel could hear the flies buzzing and see not just a few gnats, but a whole swarm around the dog. Bits of leaves and twigs hung in its hair. The dog continued toward them. Was it going to stop, wondered Noel. Should I get up and get in the house? But then, just when Noel felt a twinge of panic, the dog sat down, wagged its tail, and smiled. Noel had never seen anything like it before. It was as if the dog, flies and all, were posing for a photographer. It is going to be an interesting summer, thought Noel.

How the rabbit got his short tail & the blue ox makes lakes
How the Rabbit Got Its Short Tail & The Blue Ox Makes Lakes Traditional How the Rabbit Got Its Short Tail 1Long ago, all the animals lived together on Animal Island. Rabbit was one of the proudest animals, and he liked to show off his very long, furry tail. Fox grew tired of listening to Rabbit boast about his tail and decided to play a trick on him. 2One winter morning, Fox went to the lake where the animals liked to drink. The lake was frozen, so Fox cut a hole in the ice. Then, she tied a fish to her tail and dipped it into the chilly water. When Rabbit arrived at the lake, he wanted to know what was happening. 3“I’m fishing with my tail, Rabbit,” announced Fox, displaying the fish. 4“With my long, beautiful tail, I can certainly catch ten fish!” bragged Rabbit. He cut into the ice and dipped his tail into the water. Overnight the water froze, and Rabbit’s tail became stuck. Fox laughed at Rabbit, who tugged so hard that his long tail popped off! 5And that is why rabbits have short tails. The Blue Ox Makes Lakes 6In America's pioneer days, Paul Bunyan was the biggest, strongest lumberjack ever to swing an ax. He could chop down a whole forest with one swing. He could eat four dozen eggs and a sack of potatoes each morning for breakfast. 7One winter, when the weather was so cold that the snow turned blue, Paul Bunyan found a baby ox nearly frozen in the ice. A big man like Paul Bunyan needed an ox to carry all the lumber he chopped. The lumberjack warmed the little ox by the fire, but he stayed as blue as the sky. Paul Bunyan named the animal Babe the Blue Ox. 8Babe grew as big as a house and carried the trees that Paul Bunyan chopped. He tricked the lumberjacks with heavy footsteps that shook the ground like earthquakes. As Babe the Blue Ox journeyed across the country, he left a trail of deep hoof prints. When those giant hoof prints filled with rain, they formed the thousand lakes of Minnesota. Qestion: How are the themes of these two stories similar?
