| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Tarzan the Untamed by Edgar Rice Burroughs: clearing toward the bush while directly before her two yellow-
green eyes glared round and terrible, a tawny tail twitched
nervously and great, padded paws gathered beneath a sleek barrel
for a mighty spring. The horse was almost at the edge
of the bush when Numa, the lion, launched himself through
the air. He struck the animal's right shoulder at the instant
that it reared, terrified, to wheel in flight. The force of the
impact hurled the horse backward to the ground and so
quickly that the girl had no opportunity to extricate herself;
but fell to the earth with her mount, her left leg pinned be-
neath its body.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Just Folks by Edgar A. Guest: There's a sobbing baby there.
And try how we will to comfort,
Still the tiny teardrops come;
For, to solve a vexing problem,
Curly Locks has wrecked his drum.
It had puzzled him and worried,
How the drum created sound;
For he couldn't understand it
It was not enough to pound
With his tiny hands and drumsticks,
And at last the day has come,
Just Folks |
The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Oakdale Affair by Edgar Rice Burroughs: morons on a bet."
The General and Dopey Charlie didn't know what
a moron was but they felt quite certain from Bridge's
tone of voice that a moron was not a nice thing, and
anyway no one could have bribed them to descend into
the darkness of the lower floor with the dead man and
the grisly THING that prowled through the haunted
chambers; so they flatly refused to budge an inch.
Bridge saw in the gradually lighting sky the near ap-
proach of full daylight; so he contented himself with
making the girl and the youth walk briskly to and fro
