Postcards

• By Karen Li

  postcards, and all of them tell a story.

Perrier

• Whats going on in this picture?
• Can you tell me what you see?

Dont Cry

• Pictures can evoke different responses from
  different people, depending on their views and
  experiences.

Lunchtime

• Some postcards remind us to appreciate the
  simplicity of life.

So

• The next time youre feeling a little bored, find
  some postcards.
• If youre feeling ambitious, write a story from
  them.
• AndIf you dont want your postcards, I know
  someone who does.
