The old philosopher in a homespun setting was talking to his three nephews. "If I would grant you one wish today my children, what would it be?"

"Oh, good, give me one thousand dollars," said Richard, "and I could buy everything I want."

"Give me the answers to next Friday's test," said Mary, "and I will have the best grades in the class."

"I know what I want," said Janet. "Give me a good friend who will always love me and I will always love her as my favorite playmate."

"I think Janet has asked for the best gift of all," said Uncle Bill. In time Richard, you'll have many thousands of dollars and they may not be enough. Mary, if you would learn to study and find the answers, it would be more valuable than someone giving you the answers. For if you can't learn yourself to think rightly then your one-hundred percent rating this week might turn to failure next week,

But, Janet, finding true friendship is the world's need for all people and you will best have your wish by being a true friend to everyone. The world's greatest treasure is still friendship. The kind of friendship that expresses love in word and in action and makes for joyous companionship and kindly understanding. If you would be a part of the world's greatest treasure, be a real friend to someone today."
