WISE GOLDFISH
I like the little story about the
goldfish. How wise they looked
while swimming arohhd in their
glass home and how a member of
the fail' sex, deciding to clean the
bowl in which her goldfish lived, dis
covered that they weren’t so.
after all,
She had filled a large tub
water, so the story goes, and
emptied the fish into the tub so
they might have a BI G swim while
she was cleaning the bowl.
But did the fish go to the edge of
the bub and thus enjoy a much larg
er swimming area? They did not.

to the inheritance of Ruth, and to
Ruth also, he indicated his assent by
plucking off his shoe and giving it
