THE BASKET OF WATER
• My son,' said an Arab chief, ' bring me a basket of water from the spring.' The boy tried and tried to fill the basket, but before he could get back to his father's tent the water leaked out. At last he returned and said : , . • Father, I have tried to fill the basket, but the water will
not stay in
'My son,' said the old chief, ' what you say is true. The water did not stay in, but see how clean the basket is. So it will be with your heart. You may not be able to remember all the good words you hear, but keep trying to treasure them and they will make your heart clean and pure.'
