I started to cry when I got to that page. It took me a while to read it because I kept stopping because I was crying and couldn't talk/read. My students were telling me "it's ok", and some were even making me laugh which was a good thing. When I finally read the word "stay" My heart was so full because so many people were kind and  loving to Samar and her family.

Red broke the rule to not only to help herself but to help their friendship. It helped her because then Samar and Stephen could help stop the neighbors from cutting her down.

I think it is a blessing because it might be a hobby it likes.

And I think it is a burden because one it might not like the pairs of underwear two, it has a rule it  has to follow to not talk to humans .and three it has to find a way to make the wish come true.

And I think that Red spoke the first time and not the second because it felt foolish, unwise and terrible when he broke the rule of not talking to humans.
