But education can only take a fellow so far. What Tom lacked was wisdom.Of course, wisdom comes with age and experience, or so people have been led to believe, and I won’t contradict them. Tom had not much of either wisdom or experience in his young life.Tom became a monk, and learned the skill of the scribe. Books were not plentiful in the age before printing came alon...

Do you think you're gon'na climb up in an apple tree?"But Janice was a go-getter. So in the ladder went."You never know," says Janice.
