One day a man killed a big ox and roasted it.
Then he said to his daughter: “Go out and invite our friends and neighbors to come and eat beef with us.”
The very cunning girl had a completely different idea.
She went out and shouted: "Help! Help!! The house is on fire!!!" Suddenly, people came out of their homes but some pretended not to have heard anything.
Those who had entered the house found themselves before a feast where they ate and drank until they were exhausted.
Later, the man turned around, surprised, to his daughter and asked: “But those you invited, I don’t know them, I’ve never seen them before.
So where are our friends and neighbors that I asked you to call?” The girl replied:
"These people are our true friends. I went out and shouted for help and they were the ones who came out of their homes to save us and put out the fire in our house.
They didn't expect to find food and a feast."
Know that those who are only with you when they need you and ignore you when you need them, are not worthy of being considered your friends.

Hannah's Challenge
I joined Vocal two years ago, a prick of enthusiasm beseeching me to throw caution to the wind, pay the readies and have a stab at a long stagnated pleasure. It worked remarkably well. I dipped in my toe, finding the water a little cooler than I had hoped, but as I stood there up to my ankles, I realised it was rather invigorating, and by the time I was up to my knees, it was pleasingly tepid. I dove in and swam out to where others were tossing balls about and wrestling over lilos and proceeded to have a whale of a time splashing about, sometimes missing my footing or getting water in my eye, but sometimes turning elegant somersaults and graceful dives.
