A STORY SHORT
Yesterday I forgot a story. So I went straight out and gave my supper to a beggar.
Now of course, this will strike fools as foolish and wise men as wise.
A fool eats his last potatoe. A wise man plants it.

There was a time, you see, when I myself had to beg. A bad time.
Abitter cold, when a great hunger was on the land and only the rich had bellies.
