So they bought shrouds, and laying them in a convenient place prepared to cut their throats. While they were grinding their razors some Tramps passing that way stole the shrouds. "Let us live, my friends," said one of the Legislators to the others; "the world is better than we thought. It contains meaner thieves than we." -THE END- GO TO TOP OF SCREEN |
