When I was very small my mother had what I never thought of as a strange game to play with me, but now that I look back at that living picture I see the remarkable wisdom of her method. The truths which I would offer you often seem to come from my ancient heritage -- certainly chief on that line of ancestry was my mother. I call these living pictures in recalling these truths because that is exactly what I experienced in telling this tale. While I never found my mother's games to be strange I now look back with tremendous admiration and amazement at the wisdom of her motherhood. One day I was having a picnic outside at my home. There were many children from school and other friends. My mother introduced this new game more formally then she had in other times when they seemed more a game. She said to me "Mee this is a test for you."
