We have been divorced for six years, and he still can’t get over it. He despises me. He refuses to listen to why I want her to have a cellphone. While I want her to be responsible with it, I realize she will make mistakes -- which she already has by being on her phone too much. (It has been taken away from her once.) I want her to carry the phone with her in case of emergencies. If it is confiscated at school, her dad will no doubt tell me, “I told you so.” Should I abide by his wishes and not allow her to have the phone, or do you think my points are valid? -- MOM WITH PHONE ISSUE DEAR MOM: Wanting your daughter to have the cellphone in case of emergency seems valid to me. If you are her custodial parent, I think that prerogative belongs to you. But I do have a question: Who took the phone away from your daughter? If you did it because she was abusing the privilege, then she will learn her lesson if you are consistent. If a teacher takes it away from her at school, there should be consequences and you should ensure that they are enforced. ••••••••••••••• DEAR ABBY: I have an unusual problem. I’m very accident-prone. Over the past several years I have been in a cast many times, sometimes for long periods. My friends constantly tease me about it when what I’d really appreciate is a little compassion and maybe a little help while I am recovering. How do I let these people know that their teasing is hurtful? -- WENDY IN CALIFORNIA DEAR WENDY: If you have been in a cast “many times” over the past few years, your friends may be suffering from compassion fatigue. If their making light of your predicament is hurting your feel- ings, you have to tell them so. And while you’re at it, tell them what you DO need from them. On a slightly different note, don’t you think it’s time to determine why you are so accident-prone? Is it clumsiness? Poor vision? Discuss this with your medical provider, because he or she might advise neurological testing, or even some sessions with a licensed mental health professional. Please consider this advice. ••••••••••••••• DEAR ABBY: I am a healthy, somewhat older lady with a reasonable appetite who unfortunately sleeps alone. Consequently, I have a few toys to help me on sleepless nights. One of my biggest wor- ries, however, is that if I should expire and my loved ones discover my toy collection after my demise, they will be shocked. I don’t want to give up my toys, but I am worried about what my loved ones will think of me should I cease to exist before my appetite decreases. Surely one of these days it will. But in the meantime, what happens if I die and they discover my secret? -- KEEPING A LID ON IT DEAR KEEPING: What will happen? You will die with a smile on your face. samoa news, Tuesday, January 17, 2016 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Tuesday, January 17, 2016 Dig Dig IntoInto READING READING Utulei Village • 633-5816 • http://fbpl.org TELL ME A STORY:

The Shepherd’s Soup C M Y K (A Cambodian Folktale) adapted by Amy Friedman and illustrated by Meredith Johnson

Once upon a time, a shepherd named Munny wandered the hills near Angkor Wat with his herd of goats. Whenever the weather was difficult, with the rains heavy and the days short and dark, he sheltered at the foot of an old tree or in a ruined temple. Munny was friendly with all the animals, and they introduced him to the beautiful world around him. He understood their language as they spoke of a time when magic ruled the Earth and their cities were powerful, drawing visitors from far and wide. One night, Munny sat by his fire near the city of Siem Reap, which once had been a center of trade and now was built only of memories and stones. He dreamed of the old days. He could almost hear the sounds of people and animals. He could see vendors selling their fruits and vegetables and other wares, and he fell asleep dreaming of those days. At dawn, Munny woke. With his crook, he stirred his animals and led them into a valley for fresh water and herbs. This was one of his favorite spots, for here he could bathe in a water- fall. Later that morning he had just sat down to peel a sweet mango for break- fast when he heard laughter. A few of the goats heard it too and began to walk toward the sound. Suddenly, a girl with thick black hair and light in her eyes danced from the shelter of the trees. She skipped toward Munny, and he stared in amazement. She was more beautiful than anyone he had ever seen. “I saw you bathing in the hot springs,” she said. Munny blushed. river, and there he bound his legs in rope. only moved my arms,” he said. Munny trusted Rabbit, who was wise, “Don’t be embarrassed,” she went “You will stand in the river up to “No, you failed!” the father insisted. and did all he suggested.
