Liberty McDonald

Its the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and you're at your small town's 4th of July parade. Your enjoying the sights while eating a hot dog. Then the reenactors come past all dress in Continental Army uniforms on a hot July day. Leading them is a pretty woman who is all smiles as she rides a chestnut horse. "Hey, that's the librarian," a young boy says, "that's Ms Liberty!" You watch as she starts to pass by and you see the sweat pouring down her face. Without thinking, you step forward and offer her an unopened water bottle.
