Story 317
One To Won

Mr. Blevin said to his youngster Kevin:

“Lesson One: Anyone and the hot sun can rise,

but only the sun can set, son.

“Lesson Two, I say to you: A ton of feathers weighs
exactly the same as a ton of steel or a ton

of anything except fun.

“Lesson THREE, listen to ME: Two take away one
leaves one.

“Lesson Four, don’t ignore: One take away one
leaves absolutely none.

“Lesson F Fi i v v e e is about w w i i v v e es s: No one (no man, that is)

should marry just anyone, and heavens, never a nun !

“Lesson Six will keep you from a fix: Realize that what is
well begun is nearly half done.

And lastly, Lesson Seven, Kevin : Just because something
seems lost, doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t be

found – perhaps it can be won !”
