Collecting Sticks

Ben and I have been collecting sticks. Now collecting sticks from the
yard may not seem very exciting to you. In fact, for you and me,
sticks are viewed as trash, something to be thrown away. But to Ben,
sticks are important treasures, to be collected and studied and
counted. Nothing except ladybugs and treefrogs have as much currency
in Ben's world. And thanks to Ben, I again have learned to value
sticks, ladybugs, and tree frogs.
