THE MAN WHO GAVE UP SINGING
A merry cobbler used to sing at his work from morning till night. Close by lived a rich man, who for a long time wondered how h© could stop the singing, and at last he hit upon a plan. He asked the cobbler how much money he earned in a year. "Oh,” said the cobbler, “not mor© than 50 crowns; but I am quite happy.” "Very well,” replied the rich man, "here is a present for you.” And he held out a bag containing 100 crowns. The cobbler was almost beside himself with delight. All the rest of that day he was wondering what he should do with so much money. Then h® began to fear that he might lose it, and soon his alarm became so great that he no longer sang at his work, but became one of the most miserable men in the village. Money does not always bring happiness.
