The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs: the anthropoid. With a frightful roar the great beast sprang
among the assemblage.
Biting, and striking with his huge hands, he killed and
maimed a dozen ere the balance could escape to the upper
terraces of the forest.
Frothing and shrieking in the insanity of his fury, Kerchak
looked about for the object of his greatest hatred, and there,
upon a near-by limb, he saw him sitting.
"Come down, Tarzan, great killer," cried Kerchak. "Come

The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger.
Suddenly they saw a traveller coming down the road, and the Sun
said: "I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can

the stronger. You begin." So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and
the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveller.
But the harder he blew the more closely did the traveller wrap his

Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the
traveller, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Twilight Land by Howard Pyle: waves beating on the shore. "Well," says he, "this is the most
curious thing I have seen for a long time. Since I have come so
far, I may as well see the end of it." So he entered the
passageway, and closed the door behind him. He went on and on,
and the spark of light kept growing larger and larger, and
by-and-by--pop! out he came at the other end of the passage.
Sure enough, there he stood on the sea-shore, with the waves
beating and dashing on the rocks. He stood looking and wondering
to find himself in such a place, when all of a sudden something
came with a whiz and a rush and caught him by the belt, and away
he flew like a bullet.
