KINDNESS
"The older you get the more you realize that kindness is synonymous with happiness"
-Lionel Barrymore

A man and his grandson were taking a walk in the countryside
They came upon a small turtle
The boy picked it up, examined it and tried to pry open
its shell with a stick
The turtle quickly pulled in its head

"That will never get you anywhere"
Said the grandfather
"When we get home, I'll show you a little trick."

As soon as they got into the house
Grandpa put the little turtle down near the fire place
A few minutes later, the turtle stuck out its head and feet
And started to crawl towards the little boy

"Never try to force a fellow into anything,"
Admonished the grandfather
"Just warm him with a little kindness and he will probably do what you want
him to."
-Anonymous

If a turtle doesn't have a shell is he homeless or naked?
