Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Once there was a boy who always looked on the bright side and always expected the best. He expected to like brussels sprouts before he had ever tasted them, for instance, and to like his teacher on the first day of school. Because he had such a sunny outlook on things, he was rarely disappointed. One Christmas morning the boy and his brother awoke to find many presents. All except one small one were for the boy's brother. The brother opened his gifts with glee—a train set, a toy robot, a cowboy outfit, even his own TV. Through all this, the boy smiled expectantly, confident the contents of his small box would equal the splendor of his brother's gifts. When it was his turn he ripped the box open to find only a pile of hay. The boy clapped his hands with joy and ran immediately to the backyard. " Yippee! " he cried. " I got a pony. " If I expect the best, just for today, what wondrous things might happen? ____________________________________________________________ woof! woof!
