Be yourself

In the world to come I shall not be asked, " Why were you not Moses?" I should be asked,"Why were you not Zusya?" --- RABBI ZUSYA

Ever since i was a little kid, I didn't want to be me. I wanted to be like Billy Widdlelon, and Billy Widdledon didn't even like me. I walked like he walke; i talked like he talked; I signed up for thr high school he signed up for.

Which was why Billy Widdledon changed. He began to hang around Herby Vandeman; he walked like Herby Vandeman; he talked like herby Vandeman. He mixed me up! I began to walk and talk like Billy Widdledon, who was walking and talking like herby Vandeman.

And then it dawned on me that Herby Vandeman walked and talked like Joe haverlin. And Joey Haverlin walked and talked like Corky Sabinson.

So here I amwalking and talking like Billy Winddledon's immitation of Herby Vandeman's version of Joey Haverlin, trying to walk and talk like Corky Sabinson. And who do you think Cory Sabinson is always walking and talking like? Of all people, Dopey Wellington - that little pest who walks and talks like me !
