i don't recall whether it had morality lessons connected to it.

Also played poker as hookrider, about age 13. Straight draw and multi other variations with different wild cards. Just thinking now that one was called
Chicago. Think it was two cards down, 4 up and the last down. Ace of spades and highest spade in hole, maybe were wild. Forget exactly. Umm. not at all like this one
.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_(poker_card_game) . And we played other different poker games with different cards wild. And blackjack. And, of course, monopoly.

LOL. With fishing in a small creek in the woods, starting at the bottom of a garbage dump.
The little trout sure beat the farm trout of today for taste. Lots of work. Lots of fun.

There weren't as many houses, nor as much concrete around in the early '50s.

Edit: And yep, GOT A 2? - FISH.

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
