From the Grass Roots

ONE time there was a man who as he entered a certain village there met him ten men who were in trouble. They stood way off and lifted up their voices saying, "Have mercy on us," It came to pass that as they went on their way they were helped and one of them when he saw that his problem was solved, turned back and in a voice out loud acknowledged his benefit and said, "Thank you." That's one out of ten. I wonder where the other nine hid out. I miss the old timers in AA. I wonder where they are.
