Wiping a Dirty Hand on a Clean One
IllustrationStory★★★★A LITTLE boy tripped and fell outside and one of his hands fell in the mud. His mother said to him, “Go wash your hands.” He went in the bathroom and came out a few minutes later. He now had two dirty hands. His mother said, “I thought I told you to wash your hands!” He said, “I did. I took my clean hand and wiped my dirty hand.” The dirt rubs off. If you want to be clean, hang out with clean folks.
The point
A boy who dipped his clean hand in mud trying to clean his dirty hand ended up with two dirty hands; the moral: if you want to be clean, associate with clean people.
