Fr M John Alexander, SDB

When I was a boy, I planted a mango seed in the backyard of our house. I patted down the soil, watered it carefully, and waited. After three days, unable to bear the suspense, I dug it up to see whether it had begun to sprout. It had not, of course. By uncovering it, I made sure it never would.
