JOINING OUR HANDS
Once a little child was lost in a wheatfield. His parents searched in vain to find the child. The neighbors and friends came to assist in the search. They couldn’t find the child. Then someone suggested, “Why don’t we join our hands and comb the entire field?” So they did. They found the child — dead. They said, “Why didn’t we join our hands sooner?”
