> Just to see what would happen, on the twins' birthday their

> and game. The optimist's room he loaded with horse manure.
>
> That night the father passed by the pessimist's room and
> found him sitting amid his new gifts crying bitterly.
>
> "Why are you crying?" the father asked.

> "Because my friends will be jealous, I'll have to read all

> I'll constantly need batteries, and my toys will eventually
