    (continued from previous page)
    They went on another six miles, and they met a woman. The woman said, "oh you lazy little boy, riding along and your father crippled from walking." The little boy got off the ass and let his father get up. They went on another six miles, and they met a man. The man said, "oh you lazy old knave, you riding and our son crippled from walking." So he could not please everyone, and he lost his ass into the bargain. So put down the kettle and make tay, and if they don't live happy, that we may.
    The End.
