The park bench said, “Would you like to hear a story?” Samantha nodded. “Yes, please.” The bench said, “This used to be a farm, and there was a schoolhouse over there. A boy and a girl would meet before class, and share warm buttered bread from the bakery. Sometimes, after school, they would have a picnic on the grass, eating grapes and cheese and crackers. And often, at night and under the stars, they would kiss and hold each other for many hours.” Samantha smiled. “That’s a nice story. Tell me another one.” ...and thus begins One Minute Stories.This digital book is a work of fiction by Christian Blake and is approximately 7,000 words in length.Excerpt:#2 – She Likes Pink BootsStacie slipped on the icy stairs at school in the early afternoon. She was lucky she didn’t break an ankle. The teacher said, “Those pink shoes are worthless in the ice and snow. You should buy a pair of boots.” But boots were clunky and ugly. Boots were for boys, and Stacie wasn’t a boy. Her mother asked, “Why won’t you wear the snow boots I bought you? Why do you insist on wearing the wrong shoes?” But her favorite shoes were the right shoes; they were pink with pink lace. They were perfect. “Mom! I want to look like a girl, not a boy!” Her mom finally understood and immediately took her to the shoe store. The next day at school, Stacie proudly showed her friends her new pink boots with slim pink laces and fluffy white fur at the top. #8 – He Wore Blue Shoes To SchoolDavid’s dad wore fancy suits and colorful ties to work every day. He also wore shiny leather shoes: Brown shoes, black shoes, and, on occasion, a pair of blue shoes with white laces. David loved the blue shoes. They had a fuzzy feel to them. One day, he snuck his dad’s blue shoes into his backpack and took them to school. He asked the teacher for the hall pass to use the restroom, and he took the shoes with him and put them on. When he came back to class, the other kids laughed and jeered. But David didn’t care. He loved those blue shoes. When the teacher tried to take them off, she couldn’t. They were stuck on his feet. David laughed. “They won’t come off,” David said. “I squeezed super glue on the laces.”

Molas are made by the Kuna Indians of the San Blas Islands of Panama. Kuna girls start to make Molas when they are five or six years of age. They learn from their mothers, grandmothers and aunts who spend many hours each day sewing fine Molas. Molas are made with several layers of different colored cloth. The top layer in cut, turned under and stitched to reveal the color or pattern underneath. Fine details are embroidered on top. Each Mola becomes the front or back of a blouse, which is proudly worn by its maker. Inspiration may come from the surrounding sea or jungle, or it may come from images outside the Kuna village. Airplanes, cars, cartoon figures, religion, advertising and letters and words are just some of the many things that have sparked the imagination of these creative women. Molas now are seen on pillows and wall hangings and are prized by collectors throughout the world. The Smithsonian Institute now is sponsoring a traveling exhibit of Molas.
