Boy’s Essay on “Ambish” Is Filled With Truth.

Ambision, or “ambish,” as it is called for short, is the longing to get up and do something. The reason Napolian Booapart succeeded in changing map of Urope was because he was endowed with the necessary ambish. Lack of ambish is what makes the world go to sleep twelve hours out of the twenty-four. Ambish is the thing that makes a boy fill the woodbox and kick the nabor’s cat.

If he would apply that ambish to seeing how much onest labor he could do in a day he would in time get there with the goods. Pa says, “You want to have a ambision in life.” This was before I knew what the word ment. What is that? I asked him. Is it anything like the affinity I’ve herd so much about. He said yes and no. He said if you think hard work is your affinity, then yes. Meny a girl has an ambish to get married. If it wasn’t for that, believe me, most of us men wouldn’t have i gost of a show. I am sure I don’t know what my ambish is. Sometimes I think it it confined to seeing all the shows that come to town and playing on the Tiger s team. But I don’t know, may, be after all, it’s owning a candy store. We don’t have to send to Cuba for pineapples. They know us and send them to us.
