where I got this from....all I remember is that these words painted such a charming picture...I got lost in the picture, and clicked 'exit' by mistake.
I was studying about the Amish - a group of people whose lifestyle fascinates me. As I looked over the titles of their books, one caught my eye and I read the few lines that were on the page.
A very young couple was standing on a bridge leaning over the railings and looking at the water below. The girl had taken off her bonnet (Amish girls wear a kind of bonnet). She was swinging it by its ribbons when the bonnet slipped out of her hands and fell into the river. Her boyfriend offers to jump in and rescue it for she would need it when she went back home.
The words that captivated me come next -
The girl tells her boyfriend to let the bonnet be. 'Why should we deprive it of the adventures it is sure to have as it floats along the river....' (these are my words as I remember them...)
Can you just picture that??? What a beautiful thought.....what a gorgeous picture.....
