Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Kno 

Bahdee. She lived in a land far, far away; many 

days across the sea. 

Over time,life in their land became hard. 

Jobs were were discriminated and food was very 

infrequent. So, Kno Bahdee's Mama and Papa packed up 

their little things and the whole family and journeyed to 

a beautiful land called America, in search of a better 

life. Life was so hard that there was not even a drop of 

water enough for the animals to slurp. 

You see...Kno had three very special rag dolls that she 

treasured with all her heart,fashioned and named after her 

three cousins-the Ting family: Evry, Enya,and Kix. 

So,everywhere that Kno went, her dollies were sure to come 

too just in a little red cart. She took it everywhere in the 

hills, to the market for food, to the fish store, and their 

beloved grandfather Papa Lashi's house. 

One day, while walking her dollies in a cart she ventured upon a young 

neighbor girl playing in her front yard. Kno excitedly stopped and 

introduced herself hopefully trying to make a friend, supporting her 

kindness with a flashy grin.The girl looked up   rather confused to know 

that somebody was talking to her. 

"Hello, I am Kno Bahdee".

The neighbor girl appeared confused, half smiled and replied,

"That can't be! You have to be somebody!" 

Kno, excited to find a girl friend of a similar age, eagerly 

pulled out her first ragged doll. While cuddling her close 

to her, she lovingly introduced her to Mary Alice. "She is 

Evry Ting".

Mary Alice, seeing Kno's ragged clothes, smiled and nodded in 

approval, " I can see she must be everything. Wow what beautiful 

clothing. Did you get her from the market? Wow. She is crafted so 

nicely. How much did she cost?"

Kno quickly surmised she had somehow upset Mary Alice and tried to 

make amends with the girl by promptly pulling out her third dolly; 

"Maybe then you know Kix Ting?"

Mary Alice began to cry and ran into her house, slamming the door 

behind her. Kno looked down rather frustrated with herself. 

Kno, unaware of what she had done to upset the girl, 

sadly packed up her dollies in the wagon and pulled them 

down the sidewalk.

While turning the corner,one of her dollies accidentally 

fell out of the wagon, onto the sidewalk. 

"Oh No!" yelled Kno.

Suddenly,from behind,a loud scream startled Kno.

Kno spun around and watched a young boy on a bicycle swerve 

to miss her dolly and crash into the neighboring lawn in a 

heap.

" What is that?" 

Kno ran to his aid. "I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"

"No, I'm not ok!" answered the angry boy, rubbing his 

skinned knee.

The boy pointed to the dolly laying on the sidewalk               

and furiously asked, "Does that 'thing' belong to you?"

Kno,believing she heard him use the name,"Ting",supposed 

the boy to be familiar with her fabled dolly and excitingly 

answered, "Yes! It is Every Ting!" 

The boy became very angry and shouted; "Nothing?! 

Nothing?! Can't you see I am hurting? Do you know 

anything?"

Kno became overjoyed upon hearing the boy's name,and 

sporting a big smile, she excitedly stuck out her hand.

"So glad to meet you, Hurr Ting! I am Kno Bahdee."

Dumbfounded, the boy hopped on his bike and hastily 

replied,"You can say that again..."

Turning the next corner, Kno came upon an elderly 

woman, spilling her groceries,while unloading her car 

in a haist.

    Kno, reared by her family to always be considerate 

and helpful to elders,swiftly ran to her aid and 

retrieved the food. 

The elderly woman, seeing that the girl wore no shoes, 

believed she was stealing them and gruffly yelled out, 

"Hey, those are mine! Give them back to me you dumb 

child!"

The woman begrudgingly accepted them, while frantically 

searching for her car keys and complained out loud, 

"Seems I can't remember anything...everything seems so 

difficult!"
