Suspicion...

©Rachel Gibas . 2004


Once upon a time a man whose ax was missing suspected his neighbor's son.
The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief, and spoke like a thief.
But the man found his ax while digging in the valley, and the next time he
saw his neighbor's son, the boy walked, looked and spoke like any other
child.

-Lao-tzu, philosopher (6th century BCE)
