People bobbed
everywhere, . trying t
wade through the tur
moil. Suddenly above the
noise, the crying of a
child surfaced. The child
emerged from the flow o
people. Everyone rushed
by him, hesitating only to
cast a glance. It was
evident that the little boy
was lost. He screamed
pitifully for his mother.
The plight of the child did
not. concern the man
however. He was busy
making careful note of
the reaction of the people.
'They haven't the time to
help even a , child', he
wrote., 'How sad to think
that self -concern' should
overrule compassion...'
He looked up. °The crying
had ceased. He watched
the boy's mother scoop
the child up. As the two
floated away amongst the
faces, the man closed his
notebook decidedly, and
left for home.
Just as he reached the
walkway leading up to his
front door, ' he was
stopped by a voice behind
him saying, "Rather late
today aren't you?"
Surprised, he reeled to
greet the face of a
stranger standing before
him. Noticing the
stranger'snotebook and
pencil, he asked ,politely,
"I beg your pardon?"
The stranger opened
his notebook. "You
usuajly 'arrive home at
4:30, but you're late
today". Startled, the man
moved toward the door of
his house. The . stranger
continued. "I've been
watching you for quite
w some time now, in the
park, the restaurant, and
d the market. I- know° what
s you write in , your
d notebook. In fact the
- same things are written
s in mine."
Angered and puzzled,
e the man was lost for a
e response. .Instea:d he
k snatched the notebook
• from the stranger and
✓ began to read it: His face
lost its anger as, there
d before him, he saw the
n same things printed
t about himself as he had
g ' been observing in others.
- For the first time in a
• long "while he felt
inadequate, inferior. The
o stranger's face was not
- criticizing or accusing,
but .instead wise and
knowledgeable. It made
him more resentful 'and
f defiant.
Then the stranger
added firmly, "Mirrors
are handy objects you
know, but only if they are
used. A mirror lets us see
ourselves as we are, so
that before confronting .
others, we can make
• ourselves presentable.
Without mirrors, only
others could see us. We
could never see our-
selves. Yes, mirrors
certainly are -useful."
The stranger smiled
and walked off.•Solemnly,
the man watched him go.
And for the first time, as
he ' looked a:t the scrib-
blings in his notebook, he
saw his own reflection.

A few weeks agog a
kangaroo dreamed of
eating 13 cats in a circle.
One of the cats was white
and the object was to eat
each 13th cat keeping in
.the same direction and
leaving the white cat to
eat last.
To eat each 13th cat,
the kangaroo must eat a
cat, count the remaining
cats in the same direction
and eat the 13th cat. If the
kangaroo starts at the
fifth cat from the white
cat (in the direc,t,ion
which the kangaroo
counts), then the eating
can continue until there is
only the white 'cat left. Of
course, kangaroos never
eat cats, but it was just a
dream.
