Text:"Do the Same for Him"
Once upon a time a poor farmer taking a sack of wheat to the mill
did not know what to do when it slipped from his horse and fell onto the road.
The sack was too heavy for him to lift
and his only hope was that presently someone would come riding by and lend a hand.
It was not long before a rider appeared,
but the farmer's heart sank when he recognized him,
for it was the great man who lived nearby.
The farmer would have dared to ask another farmer for help,
or any poor man who might have come along the road,
but he could not beg a favour of so great a man.
However,as soon as the great man came up he got off his horse,saying,
"I sec you've had bad luck, friend.
How good it is that Tm here just at the right time."
Then he took one end of the sack,the farmer the other,
and between them they lifted it onto the horse.
"Sir," asked the farmer,"how can I pay you?"
"Easily enough, " the great man replied.
"Whenever you see anyone else in trouble do the same for him. "
