Listen Up...

You know, I often think back fondly and remember my grandfather.
I used to spend endless hours with him when I was ten or eleven, because he was so fascinating.
He'd moved to the UK from France in the 1930s.
He spoke five languages.
He'd seen plenty of life and built up a vast wealth of knowledge to impart.
One bright sunny morning, he invited me to sit with him.
He wanted to tell me something.
He told me that there are two types of people in this world.
Those who listen.......
I can't remember what the rest of it was
But it was really interesting.
What a great man he was.
