The cavalcade of balloons jostled behind Edna as she walked home. On her way back from the office, she had noticed the vendor selling balloons and could not resist buying them.
You see, she lived on a street full of children. Children as you may know, love balloons, and Edna happened to love children. She has bought one for each of them.
The red one was for Jase, who loved sausage and noodles. Little Maggie a few doors down was going to have the purple one. Sonny, who always carried a stuffed llama and a stuffed beaver, was going to have the dark green one.
Now for Essie, well, that is a different story. Essie loved gifts. She loved them of every shape and size. But Essie was blind, so she could not see and enjoy gifts like other children.
Because of this, every time Edna brought her a gift she made sure it had an interesting texture. One time she brought Essie a kiwi so that she could feel it's rough skin. Essie had laughed with delight. Edna hoped the smooth, sticky balloon would give her the same joy.
She walked up to a Nile green house to make the first of her deliveries.
