What If Puzzle Pieces Could Talk!
Hi! My name is Puzzly. I’d like to have a word with you!
WHY are you so daft? Can’t you see I need to get home to where I was born? Once I was content in that glorious, heavenly place where I fit perfectly and everyone lived in harmony, each doing his own part to create beauty, peace, harmony and happiness. Then that grim reaper came and cut us all into pieces and sealed us in a dark, airless tomb of plastic and cardboard, until you came along and rescued us by dropping us into a suffocating heap.
I think you might restore me to my home and happiness; but I wonder if you’re up to the task! Get that yucky piece off of me! Why should I have anything to do with him!! He’s the wrong color! Who does he think he is crowding me so! I’m just as important as he is!!!!
Whew! You spread us out and put me back with those of my own color! But I am so mixed with those I don’t know, and I’m confused as to how I might get home. You move me around as if I am in a storm!
I sense I‘m getting close to home! I see it! You’re getting me closer! I’m almost there! But no, you’re not seeing it! Look at me! See my shape and color!! Turn me around!! Don’t put him there! He may look like me to you, but he’s an imposter! Why are you so daft?!!
Where are you taking me now? These aren’t my neighbors! I’m cramped and crowded; my identify is being snuffed out!!! I don’t belong here!! I wish I were like you, with free will to solve my own problems and find my own way to where I belong.
Aw, you did it! I really am back home! Thank you for rescuing me. Soon all my friends will be home too, and we’ll all be back to that glorious, beautiful, heavenly place where I fit and live in harmony with everyone else, the place I call home!!
