This little thing meets everyone in some sort of way, but not everyone accepts it, sees it, or uses it. Some people use it in different ways and it brings out different things in different people. The story keeps you wondering what this little thing is until the very last page. I thought it was imagination because some people can fear imagination because they feel they have to conform to the norm, whereas some people use their imagination to be creative which can make them happy.

It really made me think about how I view things and how I can utilize the simple things in life. ( )
