Today in History

Author Rudyard Kipling celebrated his birthday on December 30th. He lived to be 70 years old. He was known for his poems of British soldiers and his Children's stories. In 1907, he received Nobel Prize for Literature.  Among his most popular works were 'The Jungle Book', which was written in 1894 and made into a Walt Disney movie in 1967.
Borrow trouble for yourself, if that's your nature, but don't lend it to your neighbours.
