''The Missing Piece'' is a children’s picture book by poet Shel Silverstein. ==Plot== The story centers on a circular animal-like creature that is missing a wedge-shaped piece of itself. It doesn’t like this, and sets out to find its missing piece, singing: ''Oh, I'm lookin' for my missin' piece'' ''I'm lookin' for my missin' piece'' ''Hi-dee-ho, here I go'' ''lookin' for my missin' piece'' It starts out on a grand adventure searching for the perfect piece to complete itself, while singing and enjoying the scenery. But after the circle finally finds the exact-sized wedge that fits it, it begins to realize that it can no longer do the things it used to enjoy doing, like singing or rolling slowly enough to enjoy the company of a worm or butterfly. It decides that it was happier when searching for the missing piece than actually having it. So it gently puts the piece down, and continues searching happily. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Missing Piece (book)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
