it may arise. Let us inhale the perfume of the rose from the midst
of thorns which surround it; let us drink the running water from every pure spring.

As Mr. Rodriquez came around the last hill, a joyful shout went up and the students rushed out to greet their teacher. He named and embraced each one tenderly and then, putting his arms around them, walked the last kilometer together to the village school.
