WHITE HAIRS

ONE DAY A LITTLE GIRL WAS

SITTING AND WATCHING HER

MOTHER DO THE DISHES

AT THE KITCHEN SINK.

SHE SUDDENLY NOTICED

THAT HER MOTHER HAD SEVERAL

STRANDS OF WHITE HAIR

STICKING OUT IN CONTRAST

ON HER BRUNETTE HEAD.

SHE LOOKED AT HER MOTHER

AND INQUISITIVELY ASKED,

"WHY ARE SOME OF YOUR

HAIRS WHITE, MOM?"

HER MOTHER REPLIED,

"WELL, EVERY TIME

THAT YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG

AND MAKE ME CRY OR UNHAPPY,

ONE OF MY HAIRS TURNS WHITE."

THE LITTLE GIRL THOUGHT ABOUT

THIS REVELATION FOR A WHILE AND

THEN SAID,

"MOMMA, HOW COME ALL OF

GRANDMA'S HAIRS ARE WHITE?"
