The Story of a Horseshoe.

This is simple legend. A good country
man was taking a rural walk with his son
Thomas. As they walked slowly along the
father suddenly stopped. MI a8s8g
"LookP he said, "therc's bit of iron, q
piece OF a horseshoe; pick it up and put it in
your pocket" /. ..-7....,. =. ,r.-,-.
"Pooh!' answered the child; "it's not worth
stopping for" Ftllft IN 7rf5loj 5.a1
The father without uttering another word,
picked up the iron, and put it in his pocket.
When they came to the village he entered the
blac6smitn's shop and sold it for three farth-
ings. With that sum he bought some cherries.
Then the father and son set off ON their ram
BILE. The sun was burning hot, and neither
house, tree, nor fountain of water was in
sight. Thomas soon complained OF being
tired, and had some difficulty in following his
father, who walked on with firm step. Per-
ceivins that his boy was tired, the father let
fall cnerry, as il by accident Thomas stoop-
ed and quickly picked it up, and devoured it.
A little Iufther he dropped another, and the
boy picked it up as eagerly as ever; and thus
they continued, the father dropping the fruit
and the son picking them up. When the last
one was eaten, the father stopped, and turn
ing to the boy, said:
"Look, my son! Ifyou had chosen to stoop
once and picked up piece of horseshoe, you
would not have been obliged at last to stoop
SO often to pick up the cherries" F'4a
