As you read the following story, as yourself: Is this a good story or bad one?
Russell Baker decided this would be a "good idea" spring. It was a time of love, crocuses, life, and planting. He put in a fish pond in his back yard. Russell sat and watched as his 12 fish swam lazily around. He passed nay evening like that. About a week later the water beams dark so he put in a filter. Again, he sat and watched as the fish turned lazily about. He fed them and watched their mouths pucker and such in mouthfuls of food. About a week passed before the water began to grow cloudy again. So Russell brought a frog to his pond. The frog spat water and was a lovely fountain. The frog sat on top of a brick. It looked real and spat rings of water into the fish pond. But mosquitoes gathered so Russell sprayed. Then the frog turned a dark chartreuse. It looked diseased. So Russell bought water lilies and the pond began to stink. The water spitting frog was gross. The stink from the pond radiated out for many yards. Russell worried that the water would become infested with snakes.
At the end of the season, the pond man came. He surprised the Bakers but telling they had done a good job and now had 42 fish!
So what is the moral? We do our best and life is almost never as we judge it.
