      To you, reader, for allowing me into your heart.

      - Carmen Gil -

      Mr. Yes knew how to do lots of things. He knew how to make paper elephants that could wave their trunks. He knew how to do the trick where you push needles through balloons without making them pop. He beat everyone playing checkers. He could throw stones and make them skip twenty times over the water. He could say the trickiest tongue twisters ever:

      “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,” he would say to all his friends. But the one thing Mr. Yes had never learned was to say “no.”
