🤦🏻‍♀️ That is NOT what I was asking!! 🤣 If you answer me, I'll explain why maple syrup made me think of it!! 🤣🤣


Emma | meadowroselibrary Meg wrote: "Oh sorry, I misunderstood your question! 🤣 Yes, we heat with wood! We do have an oil furnace but we haven't used it in a few years."

Oh okay! 😂My family has heated with wood my whole entire life, until we moved back to Indiana beginning of the year... 😒

1. It was pancake syrup, not real Maple Syrup.
2. You have never tried it.
3. That doesn't mean I am mentally unsound!

No problem! 😉 Did you do it on purpose or was it an accident?

I've never put syrup on just plain chicken, though I'm sure it would be amazing! But we have chicken sausage, and I always put maple syrup on that! 😂

🤣🤣 What is your final guess?


message 6267: by Ruth (new)

Ruth (misselizabethbennett) | 2502 comments I don't have one.
It's vaguely familiar- a part from the Bible, that is.
I can't remember who said it.

Yay! Yes, we've been waiting for you! This is the current question, shared by Emma and your humble servant...
Who wrote a poem which states, 'Tis more blessed to give, than to receive,' and what was the title?

My answer should be Jesus and it was written in the Bible.😏I'm sure that's not the answer you are looking for, but it might be John Milton Morse who wrote "The Orange Mountain Drive."😉

Emma | meadowroselibrary Okay, let me get my notes together...


message 6299: by Emma | meadowroselibrary (last edited Aug 25, 2020 04:20PM) (new)

Emma | meadowroselibrary Okay. And the answer is.....

The Benefactress Matryoshka.

Three Matryoshkas, all in a row;
So round and cheerful are their faces.
The largest, the benefactress
Of the little village orphanage.

The little village orphanage,
Filled with the little orphaned matryoshkas.
The mothers all gone, broken by careless hands.
None left, save the Benefactress Matryoshka.

The Benefactress Matryoshka,
Filled with motherly tenderness,
Teaches to her little matryoshkas,
The value of charity.

'Tis more blessed to give, than to receive,'
Quoth the Benefactress Matryoshka,
The teaching of our Lord
to her gentle daughters twain.

Great will be the joy
Of those gentle Matryoshka sisters
When they carry on the loving charity
Of their gentle mother kind,
The Benefactress Matryoshka.
