SMOLDERING DISOBEDIENCE
The story is told of a young boy who found a big black cigar. It did not taste very good, but it made him feel all grown up to smoke it. He felt grown up, that is, until he saw his father coming. He hid the cigar behind his back and tried to act nonchalant. He tried desperately to divert his father’s attention to avoid being caught. He saw a billboard advertising the circus which was soon coming to town. So he asked his father, “Can I go, Dad? Please let’s go when it comes to town.” His father replied, “Son, never make a petition while at the same time trying to hide a smoldering disobedience.”
