was heard, coming from the direction of
the hole. Thomas Cat turned suddenly

Thomas looked down into the hole and
saw two beady eyes looking straight at
him.

KINDNESS

Those who are unkind to you when you
are young, my dears. burn themselves into
your memory so that you never forget
them.
Those who are kind to you become a part
of you and linger only pleasant memories
Kindness is very cheap; in fact, 1t costs
nothing. One of the reasons why people
love to do for children is because little
people appreciate kindness. They do not
say. why on earth did you do that for
me?"
You should expect kindness. No one lex
cept brute) can be other than kind to
you IF you smile, talk softly and say,
Thank you" whenever you can.
Oh, why do we ever grow up? Can't we
always be simple and chidlike?
To grow kind, associate with those who
are kind to you. If people misunderstood
you. do not try to be understood by them
Seek your own / may be wrong but re-
member that / have told you so often
LOVE YOU because YOU LOVE THE
THINGS i LOVE
Birds of feather flock together! See
that your playmates and associates are the
kind Kind--the happy Kind.
Seek Kindness and it will flow to you in
a golden stream of love and service
l thank you very much for listening to
my talk. Lovingly,
