Don't Be Deceived by Fickle April
Do You Want a Blue Ribbon
for Yourself?
You must win it by something ypu have
said, written, invented or exploited.
The Horse Shows and the Derby races arc
not the only methods of getting it. Charles
Kingsley, a king among men, says in "Hypatia?':
"Do you want a blue ribbon around those
white sides of yours, you monkey?" answered
Orestes. "Because, if you do, the hippopotamus
hide hangs ready outside."
Try a kindly act for a bruise or a blow, even
when it turns the welt blue.
A soft word for a bitter speech or a blast of
anger will calm down many a storm.
