There once was a young person named Little Red Riding Hood who lived on the edge of a large forest full of Endangered Owls and Rare Plants that would probably provide a cure for cancer if only someone took the time to study them. Red Riding Hood lived with a Nurture-Giver whom she sometimes referred … Read the rest...

Another punish episode from Paul DeAnguera.
Sir Hillary’s away-team was encountering difficulties in its search for Lao-tsu. The snow in the Tibetan canyons had become so deep that they sank up to their thighs with every third step. “There’s a corral full of animals ahead,” Owen Anatu called from his advance position in the fog.
“Just what we need!” Sir Hillary said. “Let’s see if we could ride any of them.”
First he tried to mount a lama. But it … Read the rest...

More from Paul DeAnguera.
High in a Tibetan mountain pass, snug inside her snowbound log cabin, Mrs. Jong was leafing through “The Book of Taoist Virtue,” which Lao-tzu had written for her as a parting gift.
“‘The more there are laws, the more there will be thieves,'”* she read by the flickering firelight. A sudden pounding on the door interrupted Ma Jong’s musing over this puzzle. As a warden, she was obliged to admit any travelers who needed shelter. Opening … Read the rest...

Trouble was, when Pete had a snort too many, his … Read the rest...
