~~ Adventures of Mr. Vase~~

Our story today, children, is about a very special flower vase and how he made a new friend.

Not long ago, our hero, Mr. Vase, decided to enjoy the lovely day by sitting on the sill by the open window.

The weather was lovely. A sky full of sun and relaxing breezes.

But sometimes, the breeze was more than just a breeze, and the open window would knock into Mr. Vase. Oh-oh...

To avoid Mr. Vase tipping over completely, somebody filled Mr. Vase with odd rocks and shells to weigh it down. Whew...that was close!

The rocks & shells-filled flower vase continued to enjoy the sun. That is, until one breeze was just strong enough to ....oops, there it goes!

Ah, but how can an accidental fall out of a 5th story window be wrong, if it means you can make new friends? Right, Mr. Vase?

Meet Mr. Vase's new friend, Mr. Mercedes Benz. Note Mr. Benz's long, vulnerable hood.

Needless to say, meeting Mr. Benz had a big impact on Mr. Vase.

And, unforunately, on Mr. Benz, too.

[No picture of that impact - too depressing for a touching story like this. (oh, the puns!!)]

So, what was our next action, you ask? Naturally, we did the "right thing" and left our contact information for Mr. Benz's owner, blissfully ignoring whatever consequences may result.

To bring our story to a close, we'll post one more picture - of the bill we paid to our local Mercedes Benz dealership to have Mr. Benz fixed up and like new.

We're very thankful of two details:

1. Mr. Vase hit a car and not a Mr., Mrs. or child.
2. The 17,062 figure is not in dollars, but Czech crowns.

.....still, that's nearly 60 bags of Oreos!!
