necessarily preparing for anything in particular, it was just that in an uncertain world it made sense to him that he should be ready, just in case. Sure enough, the time came when Jasper did need the things he had set aside, it just wasn’t for the reasons he had thought that he would need them. In any event, although he took the slow road, when troubling times came he was ready.
