ANOTHER BROKEN EGG

Once upon a time, a young princess brought her mother a lovely egg

from the land of Prague.

Her mother treasured such a fine gift BUT soon the egg lay in

pieces.  The result of a "Humpty-Dumpty" fall.

Because all of the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put

Humpty-Dumpty back together again, the princess' mother

didn't think she could put the egg back together again either.

But because of the "preciousness" of the gift, the mother put the

pieces of the little egg in a drawer where they would not be disturbed,

where other "preciousness" was kept, and the mother would

open the drawer and stare with a cringe at the pieces

and was thankful for such a thoughtful gift.

Many years later while the mother was staring into the drawer,

she envisioned the egg as a puzzle

and carefully imagined the delicate

pieces as a whole.

Then, something amazing happened as the pieces snuggled

together--through the broken pieces, the light shined

brightly!

The little egg was now a beacon of light.

The story of the egg was now complete.

So now the story of Humpty-Dumpty was proven wrong.

He needed his mother to put him back together again!

Author's Note:  This little egg will now reside in the china cabinet with the other treasures.
