“RED” FACE JUG

This is an earthenware jughead named after a copper headed boy the kids called " Red." He was a risk taker and always wanted to be first. One long, hot summer day the neighborhood kids had to escape. They rode their bikes further than they had ever gone. They HAD to escape. Finally, they arrived at the cliffs on Lake George, New York. Silently, they stared at the water far below. Red just burst over the cliff like he could fly. He was a hero. That night, at dinner it was so boring, he was bored , so bored. With a grin, he told his family about the adventure. His Dad nodded.
" You don't know, do you ? Do you remember the feeling you had , just after you jumped? That thrill was your death. You died at those cliffs. Your dead and you will be at this table forever, boy. Or until you clean your plate. You follow?"
