“Ideas won’t keep…” #72

To recieve a present handsomely, and in the right spirit, even when you have none to give in return, is to give one in return.

-Leigh Hunt


Most of us know how to give. We are raised on sating like “It is better to give than to receive.”

But knowing how to receive is important, too, so we can give others the joy of pleasing us.

Write about an incident involving a present. Maybe you remember someone being especially glad to receive a present. Or maybe the person felt awkward about being on the receiving end that he or she took a lot of fun out of the day.
