It is to make it nurture and grow that I write my script- it is directing it that makes my tree blossom and bear fruit.

Why should both wealth and poverty be read as the predominant guides to an individual's morals ?

Except I'm aware that as a writer you can't get away with as much writing for children as you can with adults. Children have much more finely tuned senses of justice, morals, and ethics.
