âoh, come on, now. havenât ye ever âeard?â the proffered daisy remains held out for the other to take, and his stubborn smile still sits steady on his face. maybe it wasnât his color, maybe not, but it wouldnât stop one persistent boy from trying. so with a swish of his tail and a wiggle of his ears, he rolls back and forth from the tips of his toes to the backs of his heels, lifting the flower to eye level once more.
  âflowers are like the worldâs way oâ smilinâ at ye. so take it.â two-toned crown cants pleadingly to the side, with just the right bat of his eyes, âit ainât like iâm charginâ ye fer it.â
