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.
