In a certain theme park,
there is an ‘exhibition’ shall we say of pearl diving where gullible, I mean
excited tourists can pay money to have a ‘diver’ retrieve an oyster to get a
pearl. At this time, the barker will urge people to say “Opa Opa Oyster”, of
course which no one over the age of five actually does; but you have to admire
their earnestness, enthusiasm and persistence. It takes a certain type of
oyster to produce a pearl, not all oysters do. Likewise, not all people provide
an oyster so to speak. Always seek out those that have good characteristics
that can be a positive influence upon you. Be wise about the oysters that you
hang around with.
