TheOutlook prize entry Retold by Rosa Amond Cummings about Jack and Jill’s hill adventure. Jack falls after climbing a roof slope with Jill, they join picnickers, are nursed home, and possibly try again later. A second vignette features Crabbie the crab and a turtle quarrel over breakfast then revenge.
A short folklore note tells of Crabbie the crab living with a turtle as master and servant. When Crabbie fails to perform duties, the tale pivots toward a moral about diligence and harmony in shared living.
A local tale by a young writer describes two old men racing from Aberdeen to Ashboro with a barrel on each head and one under each arm. Near the hills five miles from Ashboro one runner grew tired and paused for water while the other, with water in his eyes, finished first without needing a break.
A two year old child Dorothy Grace Pool writes a short verse asking her robin to sing each day. The note reflects a personal poem about celebration of song and the coming winter. The text reads as a tender child’s expression and a parental appeal for cheerful singing.
