THE OYSTER There once was an oyster whose story I tell, who found that some sand had got into his shell. It was only a grain, but it gave him great pain. For oysters have feelings, although there so plain.Now,did he berate the hard workings of fate that had brought him to such a deplorable state? Did he curse at the government, cry for election, and claim that the sea should have given him protection? No-he said to himself as he lay on a shell, since I cannot remove it, I shall improve it. Now the years have rolled around, as the years always do,and he came to his ultimate destiny- stew. And the small grain of sand that had bothered him so, was a beautiful pearl all richly aglow. Now the tale has a moral, for isnt it grand, what an oyster can do with a morsel of sand? What couldnt we do, if wed only begin with some of the things that get under our skin!!!!! -author unknown
