PULL ON MY SIDE
or ANALOGY GONE BAD Returning from their honeymoon, and wishing to impress his bride with the importance of cooperation, a young husband threw one end of a rope over the roof of their house and instructed her to go around and pull the rope to the ground. since they both pulled in opposite directions, nothing was accomplished. Calling a halt, the man made his way to his young wife’s side, and showed her how easy it was for them to get the rope by pulling together. “What a perfect illustration!” she said. “And it will be just perfect if you always come around to pull on my side, as you now did.” From Bears, Bibles and a Boy by Jessie David Roberts
