[03:41.26]Text:Harold's Marbles
[03:45.57]Harold was playing marbles yesterday with other boys in the street.
[03:54.37]I stopped to watch them.
[03:58.05]They were playing "for keeps".
[04:01.87]The other boys were older than Harold,
[04:08.06]and were taking advantage of his youth and ignorance.
[04:13.96]As a result, I noticed that Harold's marbles grew fewer and fewer,
[04:22.16]while the other boys' pockets grew fatter and fatter.
[04:28.36]Pretty soon Harold had no marbles at all.
[04:35.36]Then he began to cry.
[04:40.06]"Crybaby! "shouted the big boys as they made off with the marbles
[04:48.16]and left poor Harold alone and unhappy.
[04:53.17]I was sorry for the little fellow,
[04:59.05]although I felt that he had learnt a good lesson.
[05:04.33]So I called him to me and dried his tears.
[05:11.14]" Here is some money,Harold, " I said.
[05:17.44]" Go buy yourself some more marbles, and when you have them,
[05:24.23]keep them to play with,but don't play for keeps;
[05:30.84]that is gambling 2 and a gambler deserves to lose."
[05:37.53]"But those boys gambled and they didn't lose," sobbed 3 Harold.
[05:46.33]"They kepttheir own marbles and took mine too."
[05:51.92]"Yes,"I replied,"but they will lose
[05:58.61]when they meet some bigger and brighte boys in their turn.
[06:04.62]"What does that mean?"said the boy.
[06:09.50]"Oh, you will find out soon enough,my boy,"said I.
[06:16.32]"Remember, a gamble always loses in the end. "
