thought of fried eggs and bacon; with sweet herbs; I had eggs and

bacon; but I wanted the herbs; so I went over to the schoolmaster's: I

knew they had plenty of herbs; but the schoolmistress is very mean;

although she can smile so sweetly。 I begged her to lend me a handful

of herbs。 'Lend!' she exclaimed; 'I have nothing to lend; nothing at

all grows in our garden; not even a shrivelled apple; I could not even

lend you a shrivelled apple; my dear woman。 But now I can lend her

ten; or a whole sackful; which I'm very glad of; it makes me laugh

to think about it;〃 and then she gave him a hearty kiss。

    〃Well; I like all this;〃 said both the Englishmen; 〃always going

down the hill; and yet always merry; it's worth the money to see

it。〃 So they paid a hundred…weight of gold to the peasant; who;

whatever he did; was not scolded but kissed。

    Yes; it always pays best when the wife sees and maintains that her

husband knows best; and whatever he does is right。

    That is a story which I heard when I was a child; and now you have

heard it too; and know that 〃What the old man does is always right。〃





                            THE END
