The World's Wit and Humor by Lionel Strachey Pdf

Excerpt from The World's Wit and Humor: An Encyclopedia of the Classic Wit and Humor of All Ages and Nations Eulenspiegel came to the court of the King of Denmark, who liked him well, and said that if he would make him some diversion, then might be have the best of shoes for his horse's hoofs. Eulenspiegel asked the king if he was minded to keep his word well and truly, and the king did answer most solemnly, Yes. Now did Eulenspiegel ride his horse to a goldsmith, by whom he suffered to be beaten upon the horse's hoofs shoes of gold with silver nails. This done, Eulenspiegel went to the king, that the king might send his treasurer to pay for the shoeing. The treasurer believed he Should pay a black smith, but Eulenspiegel conducted him to the goldsmith, who did require and demand one hundred Danish marks. This would the treasurer not pay, but went and told his master. Therefore the king caused Eulenspiegel to be summoned into his presence, and spoke to him: Eulenspiegel, why did you have such costly shoes? Were I to shoe all my horses thus, soon would I be without land or any possessions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from book: Fables Attributed to JEsop The Wolf and the Lamb Driven by thirst, a wolf and a lamb had come to the same stream; the wolf stood above, and the lamb at a distance below. Then, the spoiler, prompted by a ravenous maw, invented a pretext for a quarrel. Why, said he, do you make the water muddy for me while I am drinking ? The fleece-bearer, trembling, answered, Prithee, wolf, how can I do what you complain of? The water is flowing downward from you to where I am drinking. The other, disconcerted by the force of truth, exclaimed, Six months ago you slandered me Indeed, answered the lamb, I was not born then. By Hercules, said the wolf, then it was your father slandered me And so, snatching him up, he tore him to pieces, killing him unjustly.

Having invited the fox in return, she set before him a narrow-mouthed jar full of minced meat. Thrusting her beak into it, she ate heartily. Her guest was tormented withhunger; who, after having in vain licked the neck of the jar, thus addressed the strange bird, Every one is bound to bear patiently the consequences of his own example.

They said No. Again, with still greater efforts, ...
