An exchange tells the story Of boy
who was sent to market with a sack full OF
rabbits; lingering around town all day he
came home without selling them. When
asked by his mother why he had not sold

are like this little boy? They have plenty
of goods for sale, but fail to tell the people

goods in this day and age of the world, open
your sack and keep shouting the merits Of
your stock in trade.
