board he puts into your shoes looks ex-
actly like leather, ..-.
Thereforey you should not trust the
ShOemaker-unless he will trust you.

The shoemaker works with stirrup.
With it he can stir up the lazy appren-
Sice. u
The shoemaker also uses wax ends. A
whack sends the apprentice to work when
he is idle. Idle like to be an apprentice?
Guess not.
The shoemaker is q disinterested fell
low,
Ehe shoemaker has great many tools,
and he has to use awl when he sews. Sos
this true when he pegs. S43A
The shoemakeris always pegging away.

Boots are made rights and lefts. 1t is
right to put one on Che left foot, anditis
left to put the other on the right foot
