For Our Boy and Girl Readers
THE EMPEROR AND THE FIGS.
Story of How the King Rewarded the
Old Man.


An emperor, seeing an old man plant
ing big tree, asked why he was doing
this. The man replied that he might
live TO eat of the fruit. but even if he
did not his son would enjoy the figs.
Well" said the emperor, If you do
live TO eat of the fruit OF this tree L
pray YOU let me know OF it,
The man promised To do SO, and.
sure enough, his life was prolonged
until the tree grew and bore fruit,
which the old man ate.
Packing some Of the finest of the
figs in Il basket. he set out for the
palace and when he explained his err
rand was shown by the guards into
the emperor's presence.
The emperor was so pleased that he
accepted the gift of the figs and or
dered the old mans basket 10 be filled
with gold.
Now. next door 10 this old man there
lived Il woman who was very covetouS,
and. seeing his good fortune. she pack

suaded her husband 10 take them To
the emperor in the hope of receiving
in return basket full Of gold.
But the emperor. on learning the
mans errand. ordered him TO stand in
the courtyard and had him pelted with
the figs. When the man arrived home
and told his wife all that had taken
place she conSoled him by saying:
"Ah. well, You may be- thankful
they were figs and not hard cocoanutS.
