"a Once upon a time a certain
man was granted all he might be
able to carry across the sea in a
great ship. He loaded his ship
with costly merchandise to its
utmost capacity, and set sail with
fond anticipations of the great
wealth he was to possess. Before
the voyage was ended he realized
his folly. Hunger came and could
not be appeased with hope of fu-
trlre feasting, or heaps of riches.
fortunately, a provision laded
vessel was met, and our avaricious
man was but too glad to exchange
half his wealth for shipstores.-
This still LETT him half, and after
all the pangs of hunger and troub-
le of loading and unloading. But,
behold! He was by the contract
entitled only to what he started
to carry across, and of course had
to render an account Of what he
parted with, and did not carry
across; so this took the other half
he had left. a4rtaHora
