Review: Easily a five-star
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is easily a five-star story given the quirky ... surprise ending that you SHOULD see coming, but don't.  My only possible complaint is that it is a very short story.  (I really have no complaint since I read this in Darwin's Evolutions when it first came out so I didn't pay for it. Don't mind my squeaky sneakers.)  I'd like to see it paired with one or two other excellent works.  That said, this story is well-worth a read--kids from probably about age ... 10 and up, along with adults will definitely get a chuckle out of it.  It's far more clever and enjoyable than a lot of short stories; emphasis is on characterization and entertainment. Recommended for YA and adults.
