Issue 50 "My ten-year-old son, Thomas, and his friend, Brian, were involved in a shouting competition the other day. I couldn't believe the words that were drifting over to me in the garden. 'Well, if you think that's something, my grandfather was a thief!' 'What are you saying?' I demanded, pulling him over and cupping my hand over his mouth. 'Slandering your grandfather like that. He wasn't a thief.' 'He was. You said so yourself. He stole trees.' 'Oh well, that. Yes, but you see, that was different.' 'How come? They didn't belong to him!' I had to admit, my son was right. It had been thievery, although in the confines of the family we preferred to call it 'appropriation.' " --Julia Fuerst, "My Father, Tree Stealer" |
