“I still had fifteen cents that I hadn't given to Pa, and I was using it that afternoon to buy candy for my sisters. Abby had her monthlies and was feeling awfully blue. She'd had the cramp something wicked that morning and had to lie down until it passed, and Pa asked me why she wasn't in the barn milking with the rest of us like he always does because he forgets, and then I had to explain and he got mad at me because it made him embarrassed.”

“A Fool Stands at an akimbo, Head swollen disproportionately. Loquacious. Boastful. But he is an empty barrel That talks an infinite deal of nonsense. He is a fool. He is naked; But he discerns it not. He is shallow - Lacking depth and sound judgment. But he thinks he is full, complete. He is a fool. Wisdom makes a defining shout, But he hearkens not. Correction drums violently into his ears, But all he hears is an applause From an orchestra of his sycophants. He is a fool. He casts contemptuous glances at discretion. He sees with one eye, Tainted by arrogance. His only hearing ear Is fitted with impervious filter of pride. He is a fool.”
