ABSTRACT

Miss Rogers read us a lovely Eastern story about a man who worked for wife and children, and trusted in God and his right hand. One day he saw a blind owl fed by a raven, and thought that he, too, would be taken care of, so he ceased to work and grew poor. At last a wise man comes in and asks him why he did not liken himself to a raven instead of to the owl, and helps him to recommence life. It was a lovely story, and one should remember that one is a raven or an owl alternately, as it seems best to God.
