129. THE TRAVELLERS AND THE HATCHET. Two men were travelling along the same road, when one of them picking up a hatchet cries, “See what I have found!”
“Do not say I,” says the other, “but WE have found.”
After a while, up came the men who had lost the hatchet, and charged the man who had it with the theft.
“Alas,” says he to his companion, “we are undone!”
“Do not say WE,” replies the other, but I am undone; for he that will not allow his friend to share the prize, must not expect him to share the danger.” [more info]
