Letting Go Of Grudges

A young French schoolboy watched as two Englishmen disembarked from their ship at the port of Calais.

Not too pleased at this inhospitable gesture, the men climbed out and ac­costed the boy. “Just what are you trying to do? Is that any way to greet visitors to your country? A good spank­ing might teach you some manners.

Let go of your grudges for a better world.
