Flowers and fruit from the writings of Harriet Beecher Stowe

LITTLE PUSSY WILLOW.

Seeing the bright side.

“She shall be called little Pussy Willow, and I shall give her the gift of always seeing the bright side of everything. That gift will be more to her than beauty or riches or honors. It is not so much matter what color one’s eyes are as what one sees with them. There is a bright side to everything, if people only knew it, and the best eyes are those which are always able to see this bright side.”
