 3rd grade test. Can you pass it?

 

What's worse?

Working under this type of lift, or welding near the gas tank?

At the local boy scout steak dinner last night, we discussed the story

about the scouts working on repair of an outboard motor, when suddenly it exploded into flames.

The scout telling the story quickly gathered the younger scouts and backed them away from the fire.

He was surprised to see his dad running away by himself.

He didn't think his dad was scared of much.

When they all returned, he could hardly look his father in the eye, because he was ashamed to be the son of a coward.

Then they noticed that the gas can was gone. His dad had run it back from the flames after they started.

ARE WE TOO QUICK TO JUDGE THE WORSE IN PEOPLE?

But another version is So what if he ran without the gas can?

If he knew his son and the younger scouts would not be hurt,

must he be the hero at every opportunity?

 

The woman arrived
At an airport one night
With several long hours
Before her flight.

She hunted for a book
In the airport shop,
Bought a bag of cookies
And found a place to drop.

She was engrossed in her book
But happened to see,
That the man sitting beside her,
As bold as could be,

Grabbed a cookie or two
From the bag in between,
Which she tried to ignore
To avoid a scene.

So she munched the cookies
And watched the clock,
As the gutsy cookie thief
Diminished her stock.

She was getting more irritated
As the minutes ticked by,
Thinking, "If I wasn't so nice,
I would blacken his eye."

With each cookie she took,
He took one too,
When only one was left,
She wondered what he would do.

With a smile on his face,
And a nervous laugh,
He took the last cookie
And broke it in half.

He offered her half,
As he ate the other,
She snatched it from him
And thought... ooh, brother!

This guy has some nerve
And he's also rude,
Why he didn't even show
Any gratitude!

She had never known
When she had been so galled,
And sighed with relief
When her flight was called.

She gathered her belongings
And headed to the gate,
Refusing to look back
At the thieving ingrate.

She boarded the plane,
And sank in her seat,
Then she sought her book,
Which was almost complete.

As she reached in her baggage,
She gasped with surprise,
There was her bag of cookies,
In front of her eyes.

If mine are here,
She moaned in despair,
The others were his,
And he tried to share.

Too late to apologize,
She realized with grief,
That she was the rude one,
The ingrate, the thief!

How many times have we absolutely known that something was a certain
way, only to discover later that what we believed to be true...was not?

Keep An Open Mind And An Open Heart, Because...... You Just Never
Know...  Ya might be eating someone else's cookies.
