Caveat: A Rainbow Dung

Jinmo, a first grader, made a somewhat incoherent story, along with illustration, with a poignant ending (below), such as only a first-grader can invent.

[broken link! FIXME] Dung 003

It is so characteristically first-grader literature, because of the predominance in the tale of things like boogers and poo (which in Korean is 똥 [ttong], and so I allow them to use the relatively inoffensive false cognate, the similarly-sounding English word "dung"). The story also included the Lion King, a ghost, and a booger fly.

The "rainbow dung" in the lower right is compellingly rendered, doncha think?
