The Grinding Stone That Ground Flour By Itself. Which summarizes the theme of the selection?

A trustworthy friend is hard to find.

B. Good things do not come from bad actions.

C. Some creatures are more honest than others.

D. Special things should not be shared with others.

b

Explanation:

if the stone was some sort of reward then b would make more sense

if the stone was something precious or valuable to someone and have to trust it to someone and no one was an option then it would be a, but that kinda sounds weird so i thought it was probably b. another reason why it's probably b is cause c doesn't make much sense unless somebody stole it or something, which leaves d, but that doesn't sound like a good theme or lesson cause if it was something helpful you shouldn't keep it to yourself

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
