No Matter Where You Go....
There You Are!
| Amanda Grey and her family, and her three
best friends, (A.G. Bear, Isadora LeChat and Mrs. Duck) were on their way
to visit Amanda's Grandma. It was the very first day of their vacation.
|
 |
| Isadora Le Chat and Mrs. Duck sat on either side of Miss
Amanda in the back seat of the shiny blue four-wheel drive vehicle which
Miss Amanda's Daddy drove. Miss Amanda's Mommy was busy reading directions
aloud. |
 |
A.G. Bear, perched high in Miss Amanda's lap, undoubtedly had
the best view. Except, of course, for the rather large road map which was presently
obscuring everyone's vision, in particular that of Miss Amanda's Daddy,
Are we there yet?, asked A.G. Bear for about the
fiftieth time that hour. Isadora, newly awakened from a cat-nap, rolled
her eyes in exasperation.
 |
A.G., dear, said Mrs. Duck patiently,
We've only been on the road for half a day, and we've got quite a distance
to go before we reach Miss Amanda's grandmother's house. |
Mrs. Duck had been elected the group's official navigator,
since she'd flown many a mile South in the Winter and back North in the
Spring. Isadora Le Chat also had quite a good sense of direction, but A.G.
Bear, well, A.G. was totally hopeless when it came to things like time
and space.
| Probably on account of all the fluff in my
head, A.G. Bear had explained, without too much concern. |
 |
And don't forget, A.G., reminded Isadora, Miss Amanda's
Daddy said that he's going to take his time so that we can stop and see the
sights along the way.
 |
What fun!, said A.G. Bear, In that
case, no matter WHERE we go, there we ARE! |
| Isadora blinked and shook her head ever so slightly,
as if trying to jiggle her brain just enough to make sense out of whatever
it was A.G. Bear had just said . |
 |
|
Why yes, dear, just so!, said Mrs. Duck,
You're exactly right!. |
| Isadora crossed her eyes. |
 |
After a while, the purr of the car's engine lulled Isadora Le
Chat back to sleep. She awoke just as the car pulled off the road onto a gravel
parking area, and Miss Amanda's Daddy shut the engine off.
|
Where are we? She yawned daintily, looking out at
a sprawling white building with what appeared to be an enormous amount
of junk in the windows. What are we doing here?
|
 |
|
A.G. Bear was fairly bouncing with excitement.
Miss Amanda's Mommy saw a sign that said "Antiques
and Flea Market" and we're going to go look inside!
|
 |
 |
Fleas?, said Isadora, horrified. What
on earth would Miss Amanda's Mommy want with FLEAS?? |
|
Oh, no, no, no!, Isadora, said Mrs. Duck
reassuringly. Not real fleas. A Flea Market is a place where you find
used things. Occasionally one might find a genuinely valuable antique, and
sometimes there will even be brand new items, but for the most part, Flea
Markets are filled to the brim with older, used things. Sometimes, wonderfully
fascinating things!. |
| No fleas?, Asked Isadora, glancing doubtfully
at the store's interior. |
 |
 |
No fleas!, stated Mrs. Duck emphatically,
as she climbed out of the car and headed for the front door, right behind
Miss Amanda, and her Mommy and Daddy. |
At least, I don't THINK so, Mrs. Duck murmered
to herself.
