they should do.

      "Our wits have kept the king out of the town," said one; "and so now our wits must save our noses."

      "True, true!" said the others. "But what shall we do?"

      Then one, whose name was Dobbin, and who was thought to be the wisest of them all, said, "Let me tell you something. Many a man has been punished because he was wise, but I have never heard of any one being harmed because he was a fool. So, when the king's sher-iff comes, let us all act like fools."

      "Good, good!" cried the others. "We will all act like fools."

      It was no easy thing for the king's men to open the roads; and while they were doing it, the king grew tired of waiting, and went back to London. But very early one morning, the sheriff with a party of fierce soldiers rode through the woods, and between the fields, toward Gotham. Just before they reached the town, they saw a queer sight. The old men were rolling big stones up the hill, and all the young men were looking on, and grunting very loudly.

      The sheriff stopped his horses, and asked what they were doing.

      "We are rolling stones up-hill to make the sun rise," said one of the old men.

      "You foolish fellow!" said the sheriff. "Don't you know that the sun will rise without any help?"

      "Ah! will it?" said the old man. "Well, I never thought of that. How wise you are!"

      "And what are you doing?" said the sheriff to the young men.

      "Oh, we do the grunting while our fathers do the working," they answered.

      "I see," said the sheriff. "Well, that is the way the world goes every-where." And he rode on toward the town.
