寓言故事|The Member and the Soap

来源:www.tlffmw.com 2024-07-24
A MEMBER of the Kansas Legislature meeting a Cake of Soap was
passing it by without recognition, but the Cake of Soap insisted on
sTOPping and shaking hands. Thinking it might possibly be in the
enjoyment1 of the elective franchise2, he gave it a cordial and
earnest grasp. On letting it go he observed that a portion of it
adhered to his fingers, and running to a brook3 in great alarm he
proceeded to wash it off. In doing so he necessarily got some on
the other hand, and when he had finished washing, both were so
white that he went to bed and sent for a physician.
