Brothers

 

“I don’t understand how you think.  We see the same things, at the same time, from the same distance and at the same angle, and yet you see a tree, while I see a canoe, a paddle and a few toys made of wood.”

 

“I believe you are looking past the tree and seeing that hobby store.”

 

“You might be right.”

 

“What do you see when you look over there?”

 

“I see a grade school, a playground, swings and lots of kids playing.  Why, what do you see?”

 

“I see a single-story building with lots of windows just waiting to be soaped up at Halloween.”

 

“I guess it’s good that we see different things.”

 

“No, we see the same things – differently.”

 

“Shut up.”
