At a Certain Soot in the Mountain of Our Own State X there is a veiy distinct echo. A young fellow who r heard it climbed up to test it. He shtouted at the top of his voice: "Hooray 1 Hooray!" Through the woods it came back, "Hooray! - Hoqray!" , "Where are you and who are you ?" and the voice came back: , "Wltere are yoifand who are-you?" ' The young fellow called out loudly : 4r "You are not very polite," and it was echoed Hbacktohim: "You are not very polite." ' The young fellow became nettled arid shouted : ., "You are a foolish thing and I shall haVe noth ing to do with you," and each word came back to him, which, made him angry. ' He went back to the hotel and told his friend who had inforhied hini about the echo, who wisely showed him he irot back nothincr but what he first sent himself, and he was also told that if he had sent a friendly message he would have gotten a similar message back. v JUst as the camera takes the sun picture unfolded to it line by line when the right focus is gotten, so is it that friendliness produces friend liness. i Aner kindles anger.
