a child,
He had built himself fortress out of soap
boxes and made little pasteboard soldiers. For
hours he worked, FASTING the little parts to-
gether, making little pedestas upon which the
soldiers could stand upright, upright but shaly.
When it was completed, he sat back admir-
ingly to reap the reward of his efforts. AT that
moment, his mother, with long train, swept
across the floor and knocked the fortress and
soldiers down with one fell swoop. His lip quv-
cred and the tears started to his eyes. Then he
beheld one soldier left standing and, cappng his
hands joyfully together, said:
Look, mother, there is one left standngw
The great lesson of experience teaches that
there is always lone left standing and, if you
look hard enough, you may find two or three.
