Reader, before we start droning on , can I ask you an ever so simple quertion? If your mother loves a lamp more than yourself,how would you feel? Especially if she said , “oh ,she is so beautiful ,isn’t she? I love her with all my heart.” Flora Belle Buckman felt nothing ,because she was a “nature born cynic”. Now ,I am extremely and profoundly sure that she didn’t fell that way. She, in my opinion,was hurt ,and said that she was a cynic to comfort herself. One day,she meets a super-squirrel that could lift up the vacuum cleaner that almost vacuumed itself up.
