Sinossi

The character Hop-Along is an adorable Easter bunny that was born with one small, deformed paw which causes him to lose his balance often when he hops. Because of this, he is often made fun of by his fellow rabbits. However, despite his deformity it does not stop him from doing and achieving anything he is determined to do. He is determined, loveable, friendly, compassionate, and always energetic with a desire to help others. This story is based on a character \"Hop-Along\" I created many years ago. I created this magical creature which originally was more like an invisible elf who had \"connections\" to both the Easter bunny and Santa Claus. My two young nieces and nephew who were ages 8, 6 and 4 at the time, were the receivers of the love of this invisible elf, who would magically leave letters of encouragement of their achievements, struggles, and etc. under their bedroom doors. They kept on reminding them that, just like Santa Claus, Hop- Along also knew if they were being good or not. They would get letters at Easter and Christmas, which would always \"magically\" appear. I would write long funny letters about Hop-Alongs\' crazy adventures with Easter Bunny or Santa Claus. This eventually led to a special phone call from Hop-Along to the kids. I disguised my voice with a computer program to sound like a ‘Chipmunk’ from a TV show. And on one Christmas Eve, they discovered a tin-full of homemade cookies and a letter from Hop-Along, which also ‘magically’ appeared on their doorstep. After 4 years, the children had grown to know the true identity of Hop-Along. It was their aunt who loved them very much, wanted them to be happy during challenging times, and believed that they were watched over and loved by many people. I would like to express my gratitude to the illustrator, Sungeun, for the awesome work. I love how the characters’ faces are expressive, and their bodies are adorable and fluffy! I hope you and your kids enjoy this story, as well as more adventures to follow!

The Perfect Woman

Robert Sheckley

The Perfect Woman by Robert Sheckley - Somebody once came up with a song title we have never forgotten: "For every man there is a woman, so why did I gel stuck with you?” Not that Mr. Morcheck felt that way about Myra. He not only believed she was absolutely perfect; you could get a punch in the nose for doubting it! And he was so right —for a while! 
Mr. Morcheck awoke with a sour taste in his mouth and a laugh ringing in his ears. It was George Owen-Clark’s laugh, the last thing he remembered from the Triad-Morgan party. And what a party it had been! All Earth had been celebrating the turn of the century. The year Three Thousand! Peace and prosperity to all, and happy life... 
“How happy is your life?” Owen-Clark had asked, grinning slyly, more than a little drunk. “I mean, how is life with your sweet wife?” That had been unpleasant. Everyone knew that Owen-Clark was a Primitivist, but what right had he to rub people’s noses in it? Just because he had married a Primitive Woman. . . . 
“I love my wife,” Morcheck had said stoutly. “And she’s a hell of a lot nicer and more responsive than that bundle of neuroses you call your wife.” But of course, you can’t get under the thick hide of a Primitivist. Primitivists love the faults in their women as much as their virtues — more, perhaps.
