As I entered the front, and I saw him slink
Back of the smoke house into the lot,
And across the field.
And I meant to kill him on sight.
But that day, walking near Fourth Bridge,
Without a stick or a stone at hand,
All of a sudden I saw him standing,
Scared to death, holding his rabbits,
And all l could say was,Don't, Don't, Don't,
As he aimed and fired at my heart.

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our
course. Since this country as founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to
give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans into answered the call to
service surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to bear arms, though, arms we need, not as a
call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle,
year in and year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, a, struggle against the common
enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.
Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and
West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join me in this historic effort?
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending
freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility; I welcome it I
do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other
generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our
country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for
your country.
My Fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can
do for the freedom of man.
