the Tattle tale Tongue  11

I understand that Sed was 

so hurt and embarressed 

that he couldn't even go 

back to school after lunch.

Yes Chris was just telling 

me what happened. May I

say how sorry I am. I

will make sure that Christopher makes 

it right at school. Very well said, Uncle Rootie

in a strained voice shaking Papa's paw. 

When the door closed, Papa motioned Christopher

into the living room. But Papa I did 

not tell the whole school I just told Freddie
and Mandy and I told them not to tell 

Sit down beside me and let's talk said

Papa patting the sofa beside him. Do you remember the verse the children's Sunday School teacher was teaching the other day about the tongue I guess I don't admitted Christopher. She said the Bible says in James 3:5 The tongue is a small part of our body but it makes great boasts. Our tongues are small said Chris trying to stick  his out far enough to set it  

Yes that's right agreed Papa The 

tongue is small but the verse says it

makes great boasts. That means it can

cause a lot of hurt and pain. I think we've seen
tonight just how much harm it can cause 

haven't we.
