Sitting by the window in her convent,
Sister Anne opened a letter from home and found a $10 bill inside.
As she read the letter, she caught sight of a shabbily
dressed stranger leaning against a lamppost below.

Quickly she wrote, "Don't despair, Sister Anne" on a piece of paper,
wrapped the $10 in it and dropped it out the window.
The stranger picked it up and, with a puzzled expression
and a tip of his hat, went off down the street. The next day
Sister Anne was told that a man was at the door,
insisting on seeing her.

At one point during a game, the coach said to one of
his young players, "Do you understand what cooperation
is? What a team is?" The little boy nodded yes.

"Do you understand that what matters is whether we
win together as a team?" The little boy nodded yes.

"So," the coach continued, "when a strike is called, or
you are out at first, you don't argue or curse or attack
the umpire. Do you understand all that?" Again, the
boy nodded yes.

"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain
it to your mother."
