Tales From The South

Dakota : Origami Master From The South

     Howdy y'all. My name is Dakota and I'm gonna tell you the story of my first vacation. To the local Walmart. You see, we live in the south and where I come from it's just grassy fields everywhere you look. Which made the trip to Walmart a 4 hour drive. So, once every two weeks mother picks two children out of me and my 16 siblings to come with her. I was three years old when she chose me and my sister Beth. I was so excited. Later that day, Beth and I packed our bags and loaded everything up into mothers truck.

     Everything was going smoothly until we reached our destination. "Mother!" I cried "Beth's not here!" My mother shrugged and pulled me out of the truck. We went into the Walmart, and it was quite the sight! Aisle upon aisles of stacked goods! My mother finished her shopping and we headed back to the truck. After we put in the groceries, my mother backed up only to hear a loud splat.

     We rushed out of the car and there in front of us, was Beth's mutilated body. Mother sighed and sent me to deal with the body. I folded her up making an origami heart, just like Beth had once taught me. I took the folded body and sat it down next to me, and buckled it into a booster seat. When we got home mother put the body into soup and that night we fed my now 15 siblings the most delicious pot roast.
