Grapevine: Four of them things

1–2 minutes

to read

I’ve asked Jim if he believes in witches. He says there sure ain’t any in Vermont where he lives ’cause they can’t fly in snow storms, so they’d need anoraks and goggles until April.

It’s like Huck told, that Jim that Huck knew was just telling a story.

Smart guy, I guess. He had a five-center he told the devil had touched it, and people brought and gave him things to see the coin, more than he could ever buy for the piece.

The Jim I know says there ain’t any chance to bargain like that on a coin these days anymore.

Anyway, I’m telling you ’cause Jemma said she was doing some mapping, only it did not look a map to me at all. See here.

She hinted I could always go the ■MAP MAKER CLASSIC, to satisfy my ■GUSTO. She felt for the thing.

What happened next was a bit like a trick of magic, ’cause she asked if I could think about anything, literally anything, she repeated, to be going on absolutely nowhere. I could not and that did it, though I’m not a guy of a deep predilection for persuasion.

When she added, we couldn’t always know where, and things couldn’t happen in one and the same place every time, it was like an established fact. That was why she’d come up with such mapping.

Four corners of the world, there ain’t time without place. Try these out.

Four corners all around the world

If we score 3 out of 4 tasks, the idea is likely just natural for us people on Earth.
