We read of a University graduate who is now employed as an electrician. His father assures us that the boy always was rather good at • wiring for money.
He was telling the company tales of his travels. "There was the lion,” he said, “and here was I. Just over there was a solitary tree. I dashed toward it, but as I approached I realised that the lowest branch was quite twenty feet from the ground, so I jumped for it.” “And did you reach it?” queried a listener. “I missed it going up,” said the traveller, “but I grabbed it as I came down.”
