"Laura Richards" redirects here. It is not to be confused with Laura Richard or Laura Richardson.Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards (February 27, 1850 – January 14, 1943) was an American writer. She wrote more than 90 books including biographies, poetry, and several for children.

Johnny’s sand box is in the back yard. It is a fine big box, with the sides raised so that Johnny and the sand will not fall out. The sand is fine and dry, and almost white; it came from the seashore, and sometimes you find a little shell in it.The things that belong in the sand box (beside Johnny himself!) are the blue tin pail to hold sand, and the red tin pail to hold water, and the shovel, and the rake, and the old kitchen spoon. The things that do not belong there (some of them) are the woolly dog (because the sand gets all into his wool, and then shakes out on the nursery floor, and Maggie says it is a Sight!), and Johnny’s shoes and stockings (he likes to take them off and sift the hot, clean sand between his bare toes), and the neighbors’ cats.This story is about the cats. There are five of them. One is black, and has a red leather collar with a little silver bell; it belongs to the deaf old lady next door, and its name is Jetty. Another is yellow, and belongs to the lame girl in the white house with green blinds; its name is Topaz. The third cat is gray, with white front and paws. This is a lady cat, and her name is Malta; she belongs to the lady whom Johnny calls Mrs. Nose. Mamma does not allow him to say this, and he tries to remember, but sometimes he forgets; one day he said right out, “Good morning, Mrs. Nose!” and she only laughed, and said her nose was just the right size, and she needed it all to smell catnip with. She is a funny lady, and Johnny likes her, and Malta too.

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.”
