WHAT MATTERS

Dr. C. Branker.

The river flowed through a forest and asked, " Will you make a path for me?"

A huge old tree replied, "sure but we have some tender shoots all around so please be careful as they will replace me".

The river was so glad as the forest made a way for its water to flow. " Feel free to get all the moisture from my banks to water your little ones, 

said the river.

"Ahhh, said the trees, we are happy you have chosen this path for your course, thank you thank you!"

As the river continued, it approached another river that was almost dried up, only a little stagnant pool remained.

"Will you allow me to pass as I can give you new life again? The river asked.

"To pass", asked the stagnant pool, " pass where,---here? Oh no, not through me,this is MY river, I chartered this course a long time ago, this is MY course. However, if I do allow you to pass, you must use MY name because everyone knows my great name and my prestige".

PRINCIPLE:-- A GREAT NAME DOES NOT HAVE TO BOAST OF ITSELF.
