The Drawer of Water,

Some years ago an ass was employed
in the Isle Of Wight in drawing water
by a large wheel from very deep well
When the keeper wanted water ht
would say to the ass. Tom, I want
water; get into the wheel. my good
lad" which Thomas Immediately per.

have done credit to nobler animal,
and no doubt he knew the precise num-
her of times necessary for the wheel to
20 around on Its axis to complete his
labor. because every time he brought
the bucket to the surface of the well
he stopped cautiously and turned his
honest head to observe the moment
when his master laid hold of the buck
ct to draw it toward him, because he
then had Just one more turn to make
to bring the rope to the top. 1t was
pleasing to observe with what steadi.
ness and regularity the poor animal
performed his labor.
