The Secret of the Crayon

[fancytalk]

I really like it when the little coffee shops or bistros have areas where they put up children's artwork from the local schools. Today the topic that the children had to ponder and draw a picture describing was the secret of an object. They could choose whether it was a person, place or thing and draw what the secret was.

My favourite was the little girl who told the secret of the crayon. I thought it was amazingly simple, but deeply profound.

The secret of the crayon is that it likes to be colored.
