So you ask Elena, What kind of treat do you want while shes shopping with you. Youre thinking shell want cookies, ice cream, maybe potato chips. No. A flashlight, she says. Um, why? With a flashlight, I can have a light in case of emergencies, I can practice making shadow puppets, and the one I want comes with a battery so its ready to use. What about a dessert, you ask. I have enough of those. You eat them, theyre gone, and theyre not good for you, anyway (as she looks around at her fellow Wal-Mart shoppers). Suddenly its easier to be optimistic about the future.
