Work Description
"As they sat, the old woman on the settle bed and the girl on the chair, the grandmother began to speak:
"you will find two-kinds of people in the world. Some say that there are the gad and the good. But it isn't lit that. Since twhat is good for one may be bad for another. No, that doesn't work. You have to depend on your intutition."
There are those who make you feel inside as if you are drinking a good, warm soup--even if you are hungry and the two of you have nothing to eat. In spite of that they nourish you. And then there are those who cause you to freeze inside, even if you are sitting before a roaring fire and have eaten your fill. Those you should keep away from. they are not good for you, even though others might say that they are good people. Rembember that, my chick."
The girl nodded.
"That's the first rule. . ."
