  Collision Orbit by Clyde Beck - The tiny asteroid with the frightened girl and the wrecked spacer with the grim young man slowly spun closer and closer ... but the real danger came after the crash! 
  There's one good thing about a blowout. You don't need a mechanic to tell you what the trouble is when it happens. This was the first blowout I ever had, but as soon as I heard that explosive pinging whistle and felt the floppy jolting and the terrifying sensation of a vehicle out of control, I knew what was wrong. I reached forward and cut the power. 
  When I leaned back in my seat I was sweating and my stomach was pushing my tonsils around, and not only on account of the sudden switch from one and a half G's to free fall. I was in a jam, and I didn't need a mechanic to tell me that, either. Spaceships don't carry spare drive tubes. 
  Not little wagons like the Aspera, anyway. If you could get a spare inside the hull you would have to leave out the air plant or the groceries or else stay home yourself, and even then there would be no room for the tools to make the change. Retubing is a dock job, and the nearest docks were a million miles away on Phobos and getting farther fast. 
  And besides, you never need a spare. Tubes don't blow in space. Diamondized graphite is tough—you caliper the throat every time you dock, and after a few thousand G-hours you find enough erosion to cut down efficiency to the point where it's a good idea to put in a new liner. 
  I knew all this, but at the same time I knew the main tube had blown. What I didn't know was what I was going to do about it. I lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, just in case the stimulating effect of the quabba smoke would give me an inspiration.

  The following story is taken from St. John 15:1-27.  
  In the heart of Jerusalem, amid the winding streets and bustling marketplaces, a group of disciples gathered with their beloved teacher, Jesus of Nazareth. They had journeyed together for many months, witnessing the miracles he performed and hearing the profound teachings he imparted. 
  As they sat together in the Upper Room, Jesus spoke to them with words of comfort and assurance. He knew that their hearts were troubled, filled with uncertainty and fear about the future. But he also knew that he had come to bring them peace, a peace that surpassed all understanding. 
  "Abide in me," Jesus said to his disciples, his voice gentle and reassuring. "As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit."

  Fiasol and the snug

  Fíasól is a seven year old explosion of joy who lives in the gruesome room in Green Grove in Grasby. She lives here with her mum, dad, sister Pippa, who is eleven, and sister Bidda, who is a teenager. There are also the bone idle poodles Hansína and Jensína. They are so lazy that they can hardly be  bothered to eat their food. They definitely never want to go out in the rain, and they drag themselves out of bed just before noon. They are so terribly lazy that they only bother to chase cats when they’re asleep. This is why they sometimes lie there fast asleep, barking at invisible cats that only exist in the land of Nod. 
  Once, Fíasól thought that pink was the loveliest colour in the whole world. She wanted to paint all the houses in Green Grove pink, and she thought that the Icelandic flag should be pink. Now she has packed all her pink clothes away in a box. She only wants to wear blue and brown clothes because then you can’t really see that they are dirty. 
  Ingo lives in the house diagonally opposite Fíasól. He is nine years old and is Fíasól’s best friend. 
  “We can never move away from Green Grove,” Fíasól says from time to time. 
  “Why not?” askes Mum. 
  “Well, because we always have to live close to Ingo.” 
  Then she has a little think about this. “Mum, if Ingo’s mum and dad decide to move away, then we’d have to move too. However far away.” 
  “I see,” mumbles Mum absent-mindedly. “In that case let’s hope they never decide to move, because I really love living in Green Grove.” 
  “Yeah, me too,” says Fíasól. “I’m happiest when I’m at home in my snug.” 
  “What’s a snug?” Ingo asked in surprise one time when Fíasól said she was going home to the snug. 
  “Ingo, a snug is a small and cosy place where everyone is safe and happy,” Fíasól replied and ran back home to the snug.
