"Favor: A Tale of Loyalty and Sacrifice" In the midst of chaos and bloodshed, a small act of favor unfolds at the Defence of Chateau de Hougoumont during the Battle of Waterloo. Inspired by Kenneth Grahame's Wind in Willows, where friendship knows no bounds, a gasworkers meeting takes an unexpected turn as they unite for a common cause.

Amidst the thundering hooves and clashing swords during the Attack on the British Squares by French Cavalry at Waterloo, an unlikely hero emerges - Puss in Boots presents a rabbit from his Master to the King. Leon Trotsky's Simplicissi reminds us that even in exile, one can find solace and strength within themselves. LEON TROTSKY EXILED but not defeated.

As Proverbs Xxii:1 teaches us about kindness returning tenfold, we witness acts of favor unfold throughout history - each carrying its own weight and significance.
