"Do
you think
it's even
possible?"
asked Ling.
"Do you think
the world
could stop
fighting,
even for just
One Day?"
"Has
it ever happened
before?" asked
Jamal. "Does
anybody even
know?"
"I've
read a lot
of history
books," said
Maya, "and
all of them
seem to be
about war
-- about one
country conquering
another country,
or one group
of people
hurting another
group."
"Yes,
and it doesn't
seem to matter
what the reasons
were," added
Sunanda, who
was, like
the other
children,
wise beyond
her years.
"Well,
what can we
do about it?"
asked José.
"We're
just kids.
Who will listen
to us? The
adults always
act like they
know everything,"
Sol said.
"But
when was the
last time
a kid started
a war?" Jamal
asked.
"You're
right," said
Maya, "there's
nothing in
history about
a kid starting
a war."
"If
that's true,"
Michiko replied,
"then maybe
kids can get
together to
bring World
Peace! Then
people could
work together
to make life
more fair
for everyone."
