YOU COULD Die FROM IT (paragraph 12-13) Suzanne BrittJordan made by Jack Jason Rambo It occurred to me, while I was sitting around waiting for the fun to start, that not much is, and that I should tell you just in case you’re worried about your fun capacity（容量）. I don’t mean to put a damper on things. I just mean we ought to treat fun reverently. It is a mystery. It cannot be caught like a virus. It cannot trapped like an animal. The god of mirth is paying us back for all those years of thinking fun was everywhere by refusing to come to our party. I don’t want to blaspheme fun anymore. When fun comes in on little dancing feet, you probably won’t be expecting it. In fact , I bet it comes when you’re doing your duty, your job, or your work. It may even come on a Tuesday.
