1:45 supposed to somehow care about their
1:47 towns and their big cities their fast
1:50 cars and pretty things if they ever stop
1:54 to ask me I'd prefer to drum and
1:57 sing can the reason they don't
2:01 understand not somehow lie in your small
2:04 hands the teacher at that school today
2:08 said reading would help set me free she
2:10 told me that her books were key to
2:12 understanding nature yet she's never
2:15 walked a snowy path in darkness on a
2:18 Starlet night she's never met a Hungry
2:22 Wolf alone with not a soul in sight had
2:25 you my child not learned to read how
2:28 would you see the broken read that tells
2:32 of rabbit Fox or dear or that Lone Wolf
2:34 you've seen so
2:37 near that's not the kind of reading that
2:40 we do inside that school the books they
2:42 have are of their world they don't play
2:45 by our people's rules and is it not the
2:48 Maker's way to have the Strong Survive
