Note about the audio clip: This Windows Media Player will enable you to hear the writer read the words of the writing, making the writing come alive with the tone, tempo, inflection and style intended by the writer. We suggest that you read along while listening, with the combined senses working to add depth to your enjoyment of the writing.

How to operate the audio In some cases the audio will start automatically. In other cases, you need to press the play arrow. (The other buttons such as Stop and Speaker can be turned on or off by clicking.) If the audio does not work on your computer, email us guidance. For many computers, the audio file takes many seconds to download, and thus you need to wait for the moving progress square to finish before pushing play if you want to hear a smooth continuous flow of words. Pull back the progress square to hear it again. Enjoy!

To Be Six By Jay Albrecht Copyright 2000 Jay Albrecht

About the writer being six years old.

If twenty dragons fire sneer, mountains melt, to moppet's cheer, green-tailed havoc, earthen thunder, yet, small boy will crow in wonder.   Gastronomic urgings first, Davy Crockett's righteous guile, goblin, monster, unrehearsed, audienced in Mother's smill.   Fireman by firelight, pioneer and sailor bold... bright companions of the night, dreaming men are never old.
