      Through the

      Eyes of a Child

      William was a happy little boy whose eyes were bright green, his favorite color. He lived in a green house with a pretty little garden decorated with paper flowers; flowers that he’d made for his mom and dad every year since he was born, and which smelled wonderful.

      When William got up in the morning, his dad would get his favorite breakfast ready for him, and his mom would fill his backpack with bananas with his name written on them, sandwiches with funny faces,

      or homemade cookies in the shape of a heart.

      But one day, William split in two.
