Photo-by-Sandra-Crook
Charlie Chan and Number One Son Lee
in
Little Things Tell Big Story
Lee, no touch archway.
Fingerprints, papa-san?
Yes, but must catch owner’s fingers.
How?
Take path to answers.
Past the archway?
No, dead man behind it.
How’d you know?
Dead men no walk far.
But how’d you know he was there?
Bloody ground. Check pockets for money.
No money.
Hmm. Must be a fool.
Why?
Fool and money never become old acquaintances.
Who killed him?
Wife.
But she’s so nice.
Soft words do not scratch tongues. She was dressed in fur.
So?
Cannot wear fur until animal killed. Killed husband.
Pop, couldn’t it be an accident?
Accidents happen if planned well.

Ah so funny, Grasshoppah. I especially enjoyed
“No money.
Hmm. Must be a fool.
Why?
Fool and money never become old acquaintances.”
Another excellent job.
Ah so, thank you. Have some green tea with me or perhaps so oooooooo-long? Randy
It would be matcha fun. I have many types gleen tea. Prease to stop by sometime for some deliciousness. Ah so have flowering tea. Velly pletty.
😉 just tea-sing
It makes me boil just to read this so just bag all my other remarks.
me thinks Paul is a little jealous, missee. Tee-hee,
Steeped in humor.
Now I see your tea-sing, too. Or is that tea for two?
Funny!
thanks
Ok you two. We’re bordering on racism here. Sterotypical racism. Either that, or flirting. I’m not sure which!
Sorry. This comment was meant for you Writers Village, and you Sustainabilitea
All play and no work make Charlie Chan very dull policeman
Bait only good if fish bite
Hi Randy,
Very creative and ingenious take on the photo. Wish I’d thought of that idea. Nicely done. Ron
thank you honorable Ron
very clever Randy-san 🙂
Clever yes, but Mr. Chan’s saying’s are very clever too, for example:
Innocent grass may conceal snake
Truth like oil – in time rises to surface.
and
Suspicion, like rain, fall upon just and unjust
Randy
Y’all are a strange group of people but I love it! A wonderful story for the prompt and the added comments made it even better ! Such fun and made me laugh especially sustainabilites last comment. Love it love it love it! 🙂
It’s all good…it’s all fun…. welcome. Glad to hear from you.
Mr, Chan would say:
Levity is a great cure-all.
(or just check your next fortune cookie)
Randy
Nice one Grasshopper! 🙂
thank you sandra-san
Well planned accident. Nice. I’m smiling, Randy.

The dream was no dream after all, was it. Thanks for stopping by. Randy
I LOVED this! Original and darn cute!
Thanks. Care to take my number 1 son’s job? – he not cute at all.
You tickled my funny bone today, Randy. Enjoyed this very. Dead man not walk far indeed.
thanks. no walk in my area,either but of corpse, I just moved next to cemetery – so who knows?

Little boys tell big stories… from the Tempol of Domo (un-released due to mispelled titel)
i never watched those old shows and movies. ;maybe i need to check them out. thanks.
Can get new toot out of old horn
Well woven with witty wise words 😉
welcome words from a wise man wonderful
you must have been thinking of the old proverb:
keep wife happy
or be dead serious
well done!
yes, in deed. well said.
A happy wife is like sword that’s kept in scabbord
are you implying there is a reason happy and harpy are so similar ?
oh, did I misspell happy?
besides a tool and his scabbard are soon departed
Absolutely adorable. Loved it.
Love like eating peach – start outside and work to center
Dear Randy,
She was excavating for precious metal. He paid the price and is now interred in the hole she dug for him. Great poem.
Aloha,
Doug
I get it, Doug.
She really digs precious metals.
Good one.
