Young Albert taped a sign to
his fold-out table and set it
on the sidewalk.
Lemonade 5 cents. Tulips and
toads are free to a good home.
A passing woman dropped a nickel
on the table.
Albert poured her lemonade and
held it out along with a tulip.
"Flowers are alone," said Albert.
"I know," replied the woman,
reaching for the flower.
"I have no toads to give," said Albert.
"No matter, young man, both
are desolate creatures."
"It's as I thought," mused Albert,
"There is no difference between
them."
The woman sipped from
her cup, saying,
"Toads are less charitable."
