As you know I have been reading 'Pilgrim's Progress' and today as I was reading it, some of these lines transported me back to my childhood when all of us four sisters would have equal portions of our favourite Maggie Noodles[yummm!!] and we would eat them as slowly as we could so we would be the last one eating.
Passion had not so much reason to laugh at Patience because he had his good things first, as Patience will have to laugh at Passion because he had his best things last; for first must give place to last, because last must have his time to come: but last gives place to nothing, for there is not another to succeed. He, therefore, that hath his portion first, must needs have a time to spend it; but he that hath his portion last, must have it lastingly:
