Dear Children
l heard some people talking the
other day about making the very
most of what one had not over
looking ones immediate surround
ings and losing sight of some par
ticuar blessing or opportunity that
was right at hand
In illustrating how often your best
chance to succeed was lost by try
ing to grab some other person S
chance, one of the ladies told this
ancient fable:
"A dog was once crossing a stream
on a narrow plank. Looking down
in the water he saw his reflection
which showed him a dog with what
he thought was a much larger bone.
He dropped is bone and made a grab
for the other dogs. The water car
ried his own bone away from him
and all he got was a good ducking."
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
