The Lost Sock, by Julie Nygaard

Have you ever wondered where those missing socks end up?...

Well......I was in Cowichan Bay recently with my children and we just happen to come across this lonely forgotten sock........
My children had many questions about this sock and how it ended up being there on the fence, all alone..........who put it there, was it to mark something, did someone lose it? My son Kyle thought it might be Raymond's sock for Raymond has socks here, there and everywhere.
My son thought that maybe we should send it in to the Lost & Found at the local newspaper. Someone could be missing this special fuzzy worn out sock!
You just never know.....the sock may have some history, walked with someone in their shoes, kept their feet warm and dry and knew very personal information......there is alot of emotion for this sock.
We left the sock on the fence. Maybe it is a symbol that all is not lost for hanging on the fence is definitely a way to get noticed!
