Look out for Trouble.

Reading edition

When yuh see ole Mistah Trouble Jumpin' high ehlong yoh way, Jes' twis' yoh lips toh puckah, En whistle night en day! He'll nevah stop a minute Toh tell yuh how-de-doo, But take ehcrost de kentry En jump de fences, too! Doan' spen' yoh time eh-gazin' Up yondah at de sky: It shuah will make yoh dizzy En pain yoh lit'le eye; Jes' keep yohse'f eh-lookin' Clah down de way yuh go: De bulgine sho'ly comin' De fus' thing dat yuh know! Doan' twis' yoh neck, my bruddeh, Eh gawkin' at de sun; He'll shine up dah forebbeh No mattah whah yuh run; Jes' look out foh de bresh-piles En cross de mud-holes slow: 'Twill keep yuh mighty busy Watchin' dese hyah paths yuh go!

Don't growl if Fortune didn't trust you with more. Just think what a fool she would have been to favor you with greater gifts!
