Prompt: 053. peanuts<\/h1>\n

1. “We make peanuts a day while they make millions. It’s not fair how they treat us.”<\/h2>\n

A. “We make peanuts a day while they make millions. It’s not fair how they treat us.”<\/p>\n

“But what can we do about it? We’re not important enough for them to care.”<\/p>\n

“We’ll be important enough if we go on strike. We’ll be the most important people they need then.”<\/p>\n

“What if they just fire us all and hire new people?”<\/p>\n

A. They chose an orange and black kitten with lopsided ears and wide eyes from the box in front of the grocery store. It was quickly dubbed Peanuts and taken to its new home where it was bathed and cuddled.<\/p>\n

They set up a box with some bedding in the living room and fed Peanuts flaked salmon leftover from last night’s dinner. The children were admonished to not scare him and to give him time to adapt to his new life with them. If they were patient and kind, he would be happy to be their new family member.<\/p>\n

The children were adorably serious in their treatment of him.<\/p>\n
