Something From Nothing by Phoebe Gilman
01 - When Joseph was a baby, his grandfather made him a wonderful blanket...02 - ...to keep him warm and cozy and to chase away bad breams. But as Joseph grew older, the wonderful blanket grew older too.03 - One day his mother said to him, "Joseph, look at your blanket. It's frazzled, it's worn, it's unsightly, it's torn. It is time to throw it out."04 - "Grandpa can fix it," Joseph said.
Joseph's grandfather took the blanket and turned it round and round. 05 - "Hmm," he said as his scissors went snip, snip, snip and his needle flew in and out and in and out, "There's just enough material here to make..." 06 - ...a wonderful jacket. Joseph put on the wonderful jacket and went outside to play. But as Joseph grew older, the wonderful jacket grew older too. 07 - One day his mother said to him, "Joseph, look at your jacket. It's shrunken and small, doesn't fit you at all. It is time to throw it out!"08 - "Grandpa can fix it," Joseph said. Joseph's grandfather took the jacket and turned it round and round.09 - "Hmm," he said as his scissors went snip, snip, snip and his needle flew in and out and in and out, "There's just enough material here to make..."10 - ...a wonderful vest. Joseph wore the wonderful vest to school the very next day.But as Joseph grew older, the wonderful vest grew older too.11 - One day his mother said to him, "Joseph, look at your vest! It's spotted with glue and there's paint on it too. It is time to throw it out!"
12 - "Grandpa can fix it," Joseph said.Joseph's grandfather took the vest and turned it round and round.13 - "Hmm," he said as his scissors went snip, snip, snip and his needle flew in and out and in and out, "There's just enough material here to make..."14 - ...a wonderful tie. Joseph wore the wonderful tie to his grandparents' house every Friday.But as Joseph grew older, the wonderful tie grew older too.15 - One day his mother said to him, "Joseph, look at your tie! This bug stain of soup makes the end of it droop. It is time to throw it out!"16 - "Grandpa can fix it," Joseph said.
Joseph's grandfather took the tie and turned it round and round.17 - "Hmm," he said as his scissors went snip, snip, snip and his needle flew in and out and in and out, "There's just enough material here to make..."18 - ...a wonderful handkerchief. Joseph used the wonderful handkerchief to keep his pebble collection safe.But as Joseph grew older, the wonderful handkerchief grew older too.
19 - One day his mother said to him, "Joseph, look at your handkerchief! It's been used till it's tattered, it's splotched and it's splattered. It is time to THROW IT OUT!"20 - "Grandpa can fix it," Joseph said.Joseph's grandfather took the handkerchief and turned it round and round.
21 - "Hmm," he said as his scissors went snip, snip, snip and his needle flew in and out and in and out, "There's just enough material here to make..."22 - ...a wonderful button. Joseph wore the wonderful button on his suspenders to hold his pants up.23 - One day his mother said to him, "Joseph, where is your button?"Joseph looked. It was gone!24 - He searched everywhere but he could not find it. Joseph ran down to his grandfather's house.25 - "My button! My wonderful button is lost!" His mother ran after him. "Joseph! Listen to me."26 - "The button is gone, finished, kaput. Even your grandfather can't make something from nothing."
Joseph's grandfather shook his head sadly. "I'm afraid that your mother is right," he said.
27 - The next day Joseph went to school. "Hmm," he said, as his pen went scritch scratch, scritch scratch, over the paper. "There's just enough material here to make..."
28 - ...a wonderful story.
