My name is Thelma Oakwood. For many years I treated the kids on my block heinously, taking my cue from Dorothy's neighbor. Kids these days need disipline! But it was exhausting having to keep an eye out constantly and overexaggerating offenses just to keep them scared of me. And then the kids sold lemonade on the sidewalk outside my house all summer. Whenever I shouted at them, people bought lots of lemonade. I didn't know why, but then one night I noticed them ringing my property with ash. It turns out they were earning money to buy a Benclosure! It's been the best thing for all of us. They don't ever cross the ash, and I don't have to bother with them anymore. I now spend my days in my rocking chair. Life is sweet!
