The African Kings Verdict.

Alexander of Macedonia once entered into
a neighboring and wealthy province of Afri-
ca. The inhabitants came forth to meet him,
and brought their robes filled with golden
apples and fruits.
Eat this fruit among yourselves said AL
exander, Il am not come to see your wealth,
but to learn your customs
They then conducted him to the market
place where their King administered justice.
A citizen just then came before him and
said L bought of this man. oh King. sack
of chaff, and have found in it a secret treasure.
The chaff is mine but not the gold; and this
man will not take it again. Command him,
oh King, that he receive it for his own
And his antagonist citizen of the place,
answered.:

and should not [ also fear to take such thing
from thee? have sold the sack with all
that is in it, for it is thine. Command him,
oh King
The King inquired of the first one. if he
had son. He answered, Yes He then
inquired of the other if he had daughter
and the same answer, Yes was returned.
We'll, then said, the King, you are both
just men; marry your children to each other
and give them the discovered treasure as
marriage portion. This is my verdict
Alexander was astonished when he heard
this decision.
Have l judged unjustly,' said the King of
this remote country, that thou art thus
tonished?'
Not at ALL answered Alexander, but in
our country they would have judged far 9TH
erwise.'
And how would you have judged?' asked
the King.
Both parties would have lost their heads
answered Alexander, and their treasure would
have fallen into the hands of the King
Then the king clasped his hands together
and said Does the sun then shine upon your
