Aking has no sons, no daughters, and no queen. for this reason he must decide who will take the throne after he dies. to do this he decides that he will give all of the children of the kingdom a single seed. whichever child has the largest, most beautiful plant will earn the throne; this being a metaphor for the kingdom. at the end of the contest all of the children came to the palace with their enormous and beautiful plants in hand. after he looks at all of the children's pots, he finally decides that the little girl with an empty pot will be the next queen. why did he choose this little girl over all of the other children with their beautiful plants?

that’s the kind of bug henry was; and if we’d a had him along ’stead of our kings, he’d a fooled that town a heap worse than ourn done.”

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
