The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Stories From the Old Attic by Robert Harris: on the boy's head in contempt. "There's for your pains, feeble
one," the bird said haughtily.
The boy, however, would not be defeated. Carefully he collected the
feathers, fixed them to his stick, and with the resultantly accurate
arrow, shot the surprised vulture through the heart.
* In our pride we often unwittingly give our enemies the means to
destroy us.
* Perseverance and ingenuity, even in the face of humiliation and
defeat, will at last succeed.
