The Good Book

Little Alice with her great grandsons.
When Alice Taulbee was a little girl, she was scrawny. I mean, really tiny. So much so that her nickname was "Little Alice." Her small stature made her an easy target for bullies.

There was one group of kids who always teased her. When they were at school, they'd taunt Little Alice and tell her, "We'll get you on Sunday."

This caused Alice much distress, so she consulted with her big brother Bud, who, unlike Alice, was anything but tiny (in fact, he weighed 13 lbs when he was born).

"Bud, these kids at school say they are going to beat me up. What should I do? The Good Book says you're not supposed to fight." said Alice.

"The Good Book says you don't fight unless someone hits you first. Then, you pour it on them!" Bud replied.
