We had the family over for dinner on Sunday. Niece Devin arrived holding something clutched to her chest, hidden by her arms wrapped tightly around it. It was a belated birthday present for me.
"I have a story to tell you" she said.
Apparently, her softball team had an away game that day. In Russia. While there, they visited a national park. The park ranger showed them were an ancient tree once stood, before it mysteriously burned down. It was said to have a goblin living in it. In the ashes, something was found.
Her tale told, Devin handed her old uncle his gift, a custom prop, she made herself.
No cabinet of curiosities, anywhere in the world, has an oddity as wonderful and special as this one is to me.
