The Tapestry of Life
I In a quaint village nestled between rolling hills and meandering rivers, there lived an elderly woman named Eliza. Known far and wide as the village's most skilled weaver, she had mastered the art of creating the most exquisite tapestries the world had ever seen. However, what set Eliza's tapestries apart from all the others was not their intricacy or grandeur but rather the heartfelt stories they wove together—the stories of everyday life.

Never Eat The "Clean" Part Of Moldy Bread
Imagine that you are prepared to create the ideal sandwich. Imagine a sandwich made with tender turkey, ripe tomatoes, and creamy Swiss cheese, all lavishly encircled by two pieces of fragrant sourdough bread and served on a bed of fresh romaine lettuce. It's a time-honored joy and a future masterpiece. Oh no, however! This is what? You see mold as you reach for the bread, which is unattractive. Ugh!
