"But the mirror" said Paul.
"The king feared his people might
want to look into it and see what

pie could do no harm, and would do
good for others. Are you satisfied

''The Dreamer
"Once upon time in the far off
land of Arabia, there lived boy
whose mother and father had died
when he was very young. Now his
parents left him some money, and
in that country the judge Of the
court takes charge of the money and
the boy.
well, he grew up and because he
was large he stopped going to school
and wasted his days idling around
with other lazy boys.
"The day came at last when he
was old enough to care for himself
and his money. So the judge called
him to the court and gave him the
money and some good advice.
"'Now, my boy, there is all you
will receive from me. Take it and in
vest it in something you can sell and
make more money. Stop dreaming
and work hard. Only he who works
can eat in this world. Dreamers
must starve.'
80 the boy thanked the judge,
took his money and departed for the
bazaar where all things are sold in
that country. Now it happened he
went where the jewellers kept their
stores. He admired the shining
jewels and silver and gold. So he
said, 4 will be a jeweller, He en-
tered the store and showed the mer-
chant his money and asked him to
sell him some jewels. The merchant
told him he had not enough to buy
one, let alone some.
Somewhat displeased, he passed
along until he came to the cloth
merchant. Here were beautiful vel
vets, silks and satins-cloths of gold
tand silver. Attracted by the shining
of the beautiful cloths he said: 4
will buy some of these and sell them.
So he entered the store-he told his
story and asked for his moneys
worth of cloth.
"The merchant told him he could
not buy one piece, let alone become
merchant in them.
This again displeased him, and
he went a great distance before he
was again attracted. This was at the
glass merchants. The pretty shining
sylass caused him to go in and ask
E#r his moneys worth. Now these
ings were cheap and he got a great
many pieces.
"The glass merchant gave him a
basket to carry them. He also ad-
vised him to go to the other end of
town where there We're no glass mer-
chants and sell his wares.
"Our young man did as he was
told and there hired a small store
without any glass in the window
"He sat down cross-legged, as they
do in that country, and waited for
customers, with his basket just in
front of him.
Now the sun was warm, and the
boy was tired from his long walk,
and soon began to dream. He said
to himself, With my twenty gold
gold pieces l bought all these, and
when | sell them / will have forty
gold pieces. With the forty pieces
/ will buy more and that will make
me eighty pieces. Then | shall buy
those pretty jewels and become a
jeweler. Soon will be very rich and
