Just Around the Corner1938

Penny Hale:
Why is everything so mixed up?

Jeff Hale:
Well, maybe this picture will help you understand. [showing her a political cartoon of Uncle Sam in the newspaper] You see all these people? They're all pulling on this one poor fellow.

Penny Hale:
What has he done?

Jeff Hale:
He's done everything he can, and it still isn't enough. He gives and he gives, and he tries to make everything right.

Penny Hale:
Is he the president?

Jeff Hale:
He's greater than the president. He's the most important man in the whole country, maybe in the world.

Penny Hale:
Why doesn't somebody try to help Uncle Sam instead of pulling on him?

Jeff Hale:
Lots of us try.
