## The story

A serious collection lived in a plastic tackle box with a slot for each eraser. There was the cola bottle, the hamburger, the sneaker and the impossible-to-find watermelon slice. Using one on a math test was unthinkable. Trading happened at recess, and nibbling one was a punishable offense.

## Fun fact

Kids who sniffed their eraser collection too long reported smelling cherry for the rest of the afternoon.
