I imagine some of you have heard this story, because it is quite old. There were two men looking for a new home for their families. They went walking from town to town together inquiring where the best place might be. The first man got to the town first. He asked the man standing by the general store if this was a nice place to live. The old man replied with a question of his own." How were the neighbors of your old place?" To which the first man replied," Well, they were mean as anything!" The old man shook his head disparagingly and said, "Well, I'm afraid you would find the people here more of the same!" The second man came up just then as the first walked away dissappointed. He asked the same question of the old man and again the old man replied, "How were the neighbors of your old place?" The second man said," They were very helpful and friendly!" The old man replied(you've probably already figured it out a long while back) "You will find more of the same here! It is a grand place to live!" That is the way life is, AINT?! To have a friend, you must first be one!
