PEPPER SOUP FOR THE YOUNG WOMAN’S SOUL (1)



A TALE OF TWO LADIES
A lady nearing a great city asked a woman seated by the wayside, "What are the young men like in the city?"
"How were the young men where you came from?", asked the woman.
"A terrible lot," the lady responded. "Mean, untrustworthy, detestable in all respects."
"Ah," said the woman, "you will find them the same in the city ahead."
Scarcely was the first lady gone when another lady stopped and also inquired about the young men in the city before her. Again the old woman asked about the young men in the place the lady had left.
"They were fine young men; honest, industrious, and generous to a fault. I was sorry to leave," declared the second lady.
Responded the wise woman: "So you will find them in the city ahead."
