THEME OF THE MONTH: WHAT LUCK!
------------------------------------------------------------
Section 1. Quote of the month
"All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists
through the bad luck -- who keeps right on going -- is the
man who is there when the good luck comes -- and is ready to
receive it."
Author: Robert Collier (American Writer and Publisher)

Section 2. Story Of The Month (with a meaningful lesson)
What Luck!
There once was very poor man living in a village who had a
very fine horse. So fine, in fact, that the lord of the
castle wanted to buy it. But the old man always refused.
"To me this horse is not merely an animal. He's a friend.
How could I sell you my friend?"
One morning he went to the stable and found his horse gone.
All the villagers said, "We told you! You should have sold
your horse. Now he's been stolen instead. What terrible
luck."
"Bad luck or good luck," the old man said. "Who can say?"
Everyone laughed at him. But 15 days later the horse
returned, followed by a whole herd of wild horses. He had
escaped from the stable, courted a young mare, and returned
with the rest of the herd following behind!
"What luck!" the villagers cried.
The old man and his son began training the wild horses. But
a week later the man's son broke his leg trying to train one
of the horses.
"Bad luck," said his friends. "What are you going to do now
without your son to help you? You who are already so poor."
"Bad luck, good luck, who can say?" the old man replied.
A few days later an army belonging to the lord of the land
passed through the village and forced all the young men to
become soldiers. All... except the old man's son, because of
his broken leg.
"How lucky you are," the villagers cried. "All our children
are gone to war, but you've been able to keep your son. Our
sons will probably be killed..."
The old man replied, "Bad luck, good luck... who can say?"
The future comes to us in bits and pieces. We never know
what lies in store for us. But if you always maintain a
positive attitude the doors of chance remain open, and you
will be a happier person.

Section 4. Humor
A woman was at home with her children when the telephone
rang. In going to answer it, she tripped on her rug, grabbed
for something to hold on to and seized the telephone table.
It fell over with a crash, jarring the receiver off the
hook. As it fell, it hit the family dog, who leaped up,
howling and barking. The woman's three-year-old son,
startled by this noise, broke into loud screams. The woman
mumbled some colorful words. She finally managed to pick up
the receiver and lift it to her ear, just in time to hear
her husband's voice on the other end say, "Nobody's said
hello yet, but I'm positive I have the right number."
