Be like the bird, who,
Halting in his flight,
on limb too slight,
Feels it give way beneath him,
Yet sings
Knowing he hath wings
--Victor Hugo

A Tale of Two Frogs
Two frogs fell into a deep milk bowl. One of them had the optimist's soul,while the other took a gloomier view:
"We shall drown," he cried, without further adieu, and with one last despairing cry, he flung up his legs and said good bye.
Said the other frog with a merry grin, "I can't get out but I wont give in; I'll keep swimming around till my strength is spent, then at least I'll die the more content."
So bravely he swam, until it would seem, his struggles began to churn the cream. And on top of the butter at last, he stopped- then out of the bowl he gaily hopped.
What of the moral? It's easily found:
If you can't hop out, keep swimming around.
-- Anthony P. Castle
