THE BEST PEARS

A master sent his Servant to buy the best-tasting pears. The Servant

came to the shop and asked for pears. The dealer gave him some; but the

Servant said:

"No, give me the best!"

The dealer said:

"Try one; you will see that they taste good."

"How shall I know," said the Servant, "that they all taste good, if I

try one only?"

He bit off a piece from each pear, and brought them to his master. Then

his master sent him away.
