rho Fable of tho Ijnwl,e Man.

The following fable. which is probably OF
Turkish origin, is not without q touch Of truth:
As a woman was walking, man looked at
and followed her
Why" said she, do you follow mc?,
because" he replied II have fallen in love
with YOU"
why so? My sister. who is coming after me-
is much handsomcr than | Go and make
love to her"
The man turned back and woman with
ugly face, and. being greatly displeased
returned, and said: why should YOU tell me a
falsehood?"
the truth, for IT you were in love with me-, why
did you look back for another woman?"-Path-
finder.
