Story-Lessons from Æsop NEW LAMPS FOR OLD Story-Lessons from Æsop BY SAMUEL BIRD, B.A. (la t e assistant m aster AT AYMESTREY COURT, WORCESTER an d st. p e t e r ’s, c h ile ASSISTANT CURATE AT ST. STEPHEN, AUDENSHAW) JAMES CLARKE & CO. LTD. 5 WARDROBE PLACE, LONDON, E.C.4 PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY HEADLEY BROTHERS I09 KINGSWAY, LONDON, W.C.2 J AND ASHFORD, KENT TO All those who, according to their oppor­ tunity, suffer little children to come unto Christ Jesus, this little book is respectfully dedicated. FOREWORD F or this selection of fables, at least as old as Æsop, no claim to originality is made. The editor has merely ventured to bring them forth in a new light in the hope that it may help to illumine the modern Children’s Corner, Sunday School, or Home. This is, after all, only the method the Master used to instruct His disciples unto the kingdom of heaven, leading them from their own interests to the things concerning the king­ dom. Perhaps it is not too much to hope that this little book will not only prove attractive to the children themselves, but may be found helpful to every householder who is attempting to lead them from their own interests—of which surely the greatest is Fairy Tales and Fables—to that Kingdom where the childlike are the greatest.

Being therefore in great distress for the loss of his tool, he sat down and bemoaned himself most lamentably. Upon this Mercury appeared to him, and being informed of the cause of his complaint, dived to the bottom of the river, and, coming up again, showed the Man a golden hatchet, demanding if that were his. He denied that it was. Upon which Mercury dived a second time, and brought up a silver one. The Man refused it, alleging likewise that this was not his. He dived a third time, and fetched up the actual hatchet the Man had lost ; upon sight of which the poor wretch was over­ joyed, and took it with all humility and thankfulness. Mercury was so pleased with the fellow’s honesty that he gave him the other two into the bargain, as a reward for 17 2 18 NEW LAMPS FOR OLD his just dealing. The Man went to his companions, and, giving them an account of what had happened, one of them went presently to the river’s side, and let his hatchet fall designedly into the stream. Then, sitting down upon the bank, he fell a-weeping and lamenting, as if he had been really and sorely afflicted. Mercury appeared as before, and, diving, brought him up a golden hatchet, asking if that was the hatchet he had lost. Transported at the sight of the precious metal, he answered yes, and went to snatch at it greedily. But the god, detesting his abom­ inable impudence, not only refused to give him that, but would not so much as let him have his own hatchet again. “ . whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just . think on these things.” (Philippians iv. 8.) In making a decision always ask yourself, “ Is it true ? Is it honest ? Is it just ? ”.

What did it turn out to be but a Pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard? ‘You may be a treasure,’ quoth Master Cock, ‘to men that prize you, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn than a peck of pearls.’ Precious things are for those that can prize them. 2 of 93 Aesop’s Fables The Wolf and the Lamb Once upon a time a Wolf was lapping at a spring on a hillside, when, looking up, what should he see but a Lamb just beginning to drink a little lower down. ‘There’s my supper,’ thought he, ‘if only I can find some excuse to seize it.’ Then he called out to the Lamb, ‘How dare you muddle the water from which I am drinking?’ ‘Nay, master, nay,’ said Lambikin; ‘if the water be muddy up there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down from you to me.’ ‘Well, then,’ said the Wolf, ‘why did you call me bad names this time last year?’ ‘That cannot be,’ said the Lamb; ‘I am only six months old.’ ‘I don’t care,’ snarled the Wolf; ‘if it was not you it was your father;’ and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb and .WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA .ate her all up.
