All who knew Won Gritf, the baker

his pride was so we'll known because he
did not hide it. But concealment was
something too subtle for the warm heart

dislikes were as easy TO read as the big
blue sign above his bakery door Some
there We're among his customers whom he
treated with open scorn. Yet they were
not driven away, for Won Crit : bread
was good.
There were several things of which Won
Griff was proud, but his ever increasing
bank account was not one Of them.
Won Grif had daughter. Rosie was
her name He loved Rosie, and he was
proud of her. Won Griff also had a sword
1t Is not too much to say that he loved his
sword, and il is but stating the bare fact
to say that be was intensely proud of it.
A picture Of Won Griff's heart would
have revealed two shrines. In one shrine
would have been seen his daug hter-in
the other his sword.
None questioned him his pride in Rosie.
