BETTER GRASS
Sometime ago there appeared in a newspaper a cartoon showing two fields divided by a fence. Both fields were about the same size, and each had plenty of the same grass, green and lush. In each field there was a mule, and each mule had his head through the fence eating grass from the other mule’s pasture.
