Can you read my mind?
I was searching for my page of Anne Frank's words from her diary that I copied some 4 years ago.
Then suddenly it dawned on me that I didn't need that anymore because I've moved on from there. My recent quotation comes from Sidney Sheldon instead, I don't know if its progression or regression; but it speaks the closest.
From Sidney's when tomorrow comes;
" "What you need is a friend who kin he'p you outta trouble." She smiled, showing a gold front tooth. Her voice was soft. "Someone who knows their way around the zoo."
Tracy looked up into the black woman's grinning face. It seemed to be floating somewhere near the ceiling.
*
It was the tallest thing she ever seen.
That's a giraffe, her father said.
They were at the zoo in Audubon Park. Tracy loved the park. On sundays they went there to listen to the band concerts and afterward her mother and father took her to the aquarium or the zoo. They walked slowly, looking at the animals in their cages.
Don't they hate being locked up, Papa?
Her father laughed. No, Tracy. They have a wonderful life. They're taken care of and fed, and their enemies can't get at them.
They looked unhappy to Tracy. She wanted to open their cages and let them out. I wouldn't ever want to be locked up like that, Tracy thought.
*
At 8.45 the warning bell rang throughout the prison. Tracy's cell mates began to undress. Tracy did not move. "

Now I know why I'll never ever visit Zoos or anything alike, its bloody cruel.
