     Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called
a "boy" Boys are found everywhere-on top of,under,inside of,climbing on,swinging from,running around,
or jumping to.Mothers spoil them,little girls hate them,older sisters and brothers love them,and God protects
them.A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face,BEAUTY with a cut on its finger,WISDOM with chocolate in its
hair,and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.
     When you are busy,a boy is a trouble - maker and a noise.When you want him to make a good impression,
his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.
    A boy is a mixture-he has the stomach of a horse,the digestion (消化力) of stones and sand,the energy of
an atomic bomb,the curiosity of a cat,the imagination of a superman,the shyness of a sweet girl,the brave
nature of a bull,the violence of a firecracker,but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs (拇
指) on each hand.
     He likes ice cream,knives,saws,Christmas,comic books,woods,water (in its natural habitat),large
animals,Dad,trains,Saturday mornings,and fire engines.He is not much for Sunday schools,company,
schools,books without pictures,music lessons,neckties,barbers,girls,overcoats,adults,or bedtime.
     A boy is a magical creature-he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered
pieces of your hopes and dreams,he can mend them like new with two magic words,"Hi,Dad!"
