He Tried to Stick It on with Soap

I observed Susannah and her shadow playing together by the fence one evening. First, they whispered together about the best sort of silent mischief.



Susannah discreetly handed her shadow something, which the shadow (butterfingers!) promptly dropped.



So Susannah took charge, skillfully plunking gravel stone by stone through a chink in the neighbor's fence, while the shadow watched in round-eyed admiration.
