Ascher & His Adventures

 ASCHER & HIS ADVENTURES



Ascher had a toy robot and ambulance. 

He laid down on the floor, placing the robot across his tiny body. 

His ambulance was parked nearby. 

He called out. “Help, Grandma, it’s an emergency.”



Ascher stood on short stool, peering over his cot. He fancied he was on the bridge of a great sailing ship. 

“I'm on a ship, momma. I'm a pirate,” he said. 

“Look over there,” he continued, pointing his finger. 

"It's a whale."



 One afternoon, Ascher struck a pose with arms folded and wearing a pair of goggles. 

With kung-fu kicks and flailing arms, he announced "I'm Action Ascher."



Ascher imagined himself a firefighter, he created a fire hose from a toy vacuum cleaner. 

He stood over his toys scattered on a table, hose in hand with the swishing sound of water, pouring over it. 

When asked what he was doing, he said, "I'm a firefighter. I'm a firefighter, momma. There's a fire on the roof."
