Story 3
Tact
If you have tact, then thoughtful is how you'd act. With anger, you'd not
react, smiles not tears you'd extract, and rash words you'd need not re-
tract. As a matter of fact, the way you'd act would likely make a most
favorable impact.
Story 4
Brad
Brad wasn’t such a nice lad. He seldom made his mom
or dad glad. And as he grew older he turned awfully
bad. Girls called him a good-for-nothing cad. And his
teacher said he couldn’t even add.
Of course, Brad never did become a grad, yet a job he
still should have had. But lazy Brad refused so much
as look at a want ad.
