HOUSE OF A THOUSAND MIRRORS

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He lookedthrough the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To hisgreat surprise, he found himself staring at 1000other happy little dogs with their tails waggingjust as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, andwas answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who wasnot quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs andhung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and washorrified to see 1000 little dogs growling backat him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kindof reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?
