"As I understand it," said the* heathen, "you propose to civilise me?" "Exactly so." "You mean to get me out of the habits of idleness and teach, me to work?" "That's the idea." "And then lead mc to simplify my methods and invent, things to make my work lighter." "Yes." "And next I shall become ambitious and get rich so I shan't have to work at all —well what's the use of taking such a roundabont way of getting just where I started, I don't work now!"
