Proverbs Plus A little help is better than a lot of pity. -- Celtic Proverb And Then There's...   Help yourself and heaven will help you. -- Jean de La Fontaine  Reader's Digest CyberSmiles As a chaplain in a university residence hall, I am supposed to uphold all of the school rules, which include a ban on pets. That changed, however, when a kitten adopted me. The freshmen in my dorm kept my secret. They covered for me by calling my kitten "the Book," since I had so many in my room. One morning I was leaving the dorm with the kitten in a carrier. A student stopped me and asked, "Where are you taking the Book?" I explained that I was bringing the kitten to the vet. "She's getting neutered today," I told him. "Hmm," the student responded, "no sequels."  --Contributed to "All In a Day's Work" by Tom Powers Smiles, grins & humor from the files of Reader's Digest!
