Listen To Your Cricket

Disney's Jiminy Cricket, is my favorite guy, by far! Since I first saw him singing, "When you wish upon a star". He was just a little Cricket. But despite his tiny size, Jiminy had a heart of gold and was very smart and wise! "You must avoid temptation", he told his wooden friend. "If you listen to your conscience, you'll be happy in the end". I admire Jiminy's attributes and the values that he set. To be appointed "Official Conscience", is about as good as it can get! Pinocchio learned to choose right from wrong and when troubled on what to decide, He relied on Jiminy's insightful advice, "To let your conscience be your guide"! By Ralph Taylor

Yes, Jiminy was a wise cricket, Ralph, and I love the Disney character you chose for your entry. So well written, too! Maybe I should hire Jiminy if he's looking for work now. LOL Best wishes in the contest, my friend! Love, Carolyn
