ReplyDeleteHi Class!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of your wonderful reasoning about why you would or would not desire to have the golden touch. Personally, I would not want to experience the golden touch. Could you imagine what would happen if Cello landed on my finger?! Instead of flying around as light as a feather, he would fall to the ground like a heavy anchor. A golden Cello would leave me feeling as sad as one hundred rainy days.
Thanks again for sharing your ideas!
