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."
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."
