122503 #eel The grass was lumpy and soft, cold spring grass. Some boys started fighting and tormenting a rabbit. The priest got angry but kept his cool. He said, What about the Four Boys from Caldecott? What about adventure, camaraderie, pirates, etc? and they settled down, a little chastened. I looked at one of the boys, maybe a 6- or 7-yr-old, and his face was still a little twisted with the drama of it all, and I could see how easy it would have been to just get mad back at him, instead of offering an alternative as the priest had done, and I made some kind of mental note.
