nothing only an old hag of a woman lying on the bed in the corner. He was surprised but then he saw the track of blood from the window to the bed and he knew then that the hare and hag were the same.

The Poor Scholar

Share Share Post

Once there was a king called King Harman. He was very rich and built many beautiful gates on his lands. On these gates he wrote "What can man with money do". A poor scholar was passing and underneath the inscription he wrote
"All the men and money in Adam's race
Would not straighten the nose on Harman's face."
