....THE GIFT........

[boborgera]

According to legend,.........
A young man while roaming the dessert came across a spring of delicious crystal clear water. The water was so sweet he filled his leather canteen so he could bring some back to a tribal elder who had been his teacher. After a four day journey he presented the water to the old man who took a deep drink,
Smiled warmly and thanked his student lavishly for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart.......

Later, The teacher let another student taste the water. He spat it out, Saying it was awful. It apparently had become stale because of the oil leather container. The student challenged his teacher; Master'' The water was
foul. Why did you pretend to like it.????.........

The teacher replied, ''You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift.......
The water was simply the container for an act of living- kindness,...
And nothing could be sweeter.......

Na, Not about Spyders, It's about life in general.

My Son and his Wife got a little sledding in at the Hill last week end,
I went ice fishing with my Grandson down in Narrowsburg last weekend.:thumbup:

Last winter the kids had great time on the ice, We pulled up a Pickerel, And thew it to a Bald Eagle who was
perched on a tree watching us, It was a sight to see when he swooped down and took it back to the tree to eat it. :clap:
