Chapter 10 - Page 145 - Rhasha Drives

When you are unhappy, the devil wears a grin, but oh he's much too lonely when the light comes crawling in. I know he'll be unhappy cause I'll never wear a frown. Maybe if we keep on smiling, he'll get tired of hanging around. If I forget to say my prayers, the devil jumps with glee, but he feels so awful, awful, when he see's me on my knees. So if your full of trouble and you never seem to win. Just open up your heart and let the sunshine in. So let the sunshine in. Face it with a grin. Open up your heart and let the sunshine in.”

    Jim and Rhasha sang two more songs as the children listened quietly. At the end of the fourth song, Jim made an announcement. “OK, children, Rhasha and I are getting sleepy. It’s time to go to bed.”

   A flurry of voices called through the darkness, “Good night, Papa. Good night Rhasha.”

   “Good night, everyone,” Jim and Rhasha yelled back.

   “You can come back tomorrow night,” Jim added. “We’ll sing for you every night, if you want us to.”

   The children left Jim’s yard and scampered home. Jim and Rhasha snuggled into their bed and went to sleep.
