While they are\u003cbr\u003erosy, roly-poly little fellows they are petted and praised, adorned and\u003cbr\u003eadored, till it is a miracle that they are not utterly ruined. But the\u003cbr\u003emoment they outgrow their babyhood their trials begin, and they are\u003cbr\u003eregarded as nuisances till they are twenty-one, when they are again\u003cbr\u003ereceived into favor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet that very time of neglect is the period when they most need all\u003cbr\u003emanner of helps, and ought to have them. I like boys and oysters raw;\u003cbr\u003eso, though good manners are always pleasing, I don't mind the rough\u003cbr\u003eoutside burr which repels most people, and perhaps that is the reason\u003cbr\u003ewhy the burrs open and let me see the soft lining and taste the sweet\u003cbr\u003enut hidden inside.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145684402416,"sku":"2940013484467","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013484467_p0.jpg?v=1763581869","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013484467","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
