  Human Is by Philip K. Dick - She noticed the change in her husband -- but she had married for better or worse! 
  Jill Herrick's blue eyes filled with tears. She gazed at her husband in unspeakable horror. "You're — you're hideous!" she wailed. 
  Lester Herrick continued working, arranging heaps of notes and graphs in precise piles. 
  "Hideous," he stated, "is a value judgment. It contains no factual information." He sent a report tape on Centauran parasitic life whizzing through the desk scanner. "Merely an opinion. An expression of emotion, nothing more." 
  Jill stumbled back to the kitchen. Listlessly, she waved her hand to trip the stove into activity. Conveyor belts in the wall hummed to life, hurrying the food from the underground storage lockers for the evening meal. 
  She turned to face her husband one last time. "Not even a little while?" she begged. "Not even —" 
  "Not even for a month. When he comes you can tell him. If you haven't the courage, I'll do it. I can't have a child running around here. I have too much work to do. This report on Betelgeuse XI is due in ten days." Lester dropped a spool on Fomalhautan fossil implements into the scanner. "What's the matter with your brother? Why can't he take care of his own child?" 
  Jill dabbed at swollen eyes. "Don't you understand? I want Gus here! I begged Frank to let him come. And now you —" 
  "I'll be glad when he's old enough to be turned over to the Government." Lester's thin face twisted in annoyance. "Damn it, Jill, isn't dinner ready yet? It's been ten minutes! What's wrong with that stove?"

  The Mystical Lakes -...

  In every part of the world, deep in sweltering jungles, high atop mountain peaks, 
  tucked away in rolling hill sides, valleys, plains and vast deserts, 
  there lies a series of magical, Mystical Lakes. 
  These Mystical Lakes were designed to be a sacred place that would 
  give whomever asked a question to them the answers they were searching for. 
  Yet take heed; the answers are not always what one wants them to be, but rather 
  the answers they truly need to hear, to heal and to grow. In their waters 
  they would reflect one’s inner treasure and the kind of dragons that fiercely 
  guarded it. They were to be a place that would show any adventurer what was 
  holding them back, and how to let it go. Also, illuminating just how magnificent 
  and important those that peer into them are; and little one, you are so very important. 
  There are so many precious moments when raising a child, and one of my daughter 
  and I’s favorites was bedtime, and the stories that would pop into mind. On one 
  particular evening, a story of a magical mystical lake came through, that could help kids 
  and parents with the difficult issues affecting our world. Since there are billions of 
  people on this planet, then there are billions of questions, billions of needs, 
  and through this first book in a long series, we begin to delicately unravel 
  the mysteries we all navigate as children and adults.
