Proverbs 18:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ The mind of a smart person is ready to get knowledge.
    The wise person listens to learn more.

¹⁶ Taking a gift to an important person
    will help get you in to see him.

¹⁷ The first person to tell his side of a story seems right.
    But that may change when somebody comes and asks him questions.
