A never-failing stream, sparkling like molten glass, flowed mer- rily down from the highest mountain, ran in a Sportive, zigzag way through the valley, and passed into a wide cav- ern at the further end of it. This stream was the special pride of' all the villagers. They shielded it from all pollution, planted bright flowers along its banks and built fancy bridges over it.

But in the course of' time. one of the villagers, who was deformed in his mind, became a Financier, and wickedly determined to obtain grain and fruit without doingr his share of the work. To accomplish this infamous purpose, he climbed the sacred mountain, discov- ered the cleft in the rock from which the stream issued, and stopped it up with rocks and logs. Then he descend- ed uuperceived to the valley, and joined the alarmed villagers, who had discov- ered the stoppage of the waters. Ac- cording to their traditions, the people believed that the stream came from the gods, and therefore they brought many sacrifices, and offered them upon altars at the foot of the holy mountain, but of course no water descended. 'l‘hcy chanted hymns and repeated prayers and fasted every third day, but their thirst increased more and more. At last the Financier spoke to the others and said : “ If ye will givefme one hun- dred bushels'oi grain I will even risk my life for ye all. I will climb the mountain and intercede with the gods, and persuade them to send us the stream again.” And the villagers accepted his ofier with great rejoicing, and in the evening, when it became dark, he as- cended the mountain, rolled away the rocks and logs, and let. the stream flow once more to the valley. When the Financier returned, the happy people greeted him with great joy, and carried him on their shoulders to his home; for they said in their simplicity: “It is he that hath saved us from thirst and fam- ine and death.” And the Financier, when he discov- cied how easily the people were deceiv- ed, said to himself: “This whole val- ley shall be my garden, and all these people shall be my slaves.” And, be- coming more and more greedy, he soon began to block the stream up twice a week.- And so, in a short time, he be- came the possessor, not only of all the grain and fruit, but also of the land and the houses and the furniture and even the musical instruments. And until the very last house was taken, most of the people believed in him, and carried him on their shoulders when he return- ed from the mountain. They spoke loudly of his patriotism and philanthro- py, for whenever he received from them one hundred bushels of grain, he always restored them one bushel to feed the. poor. He likewise gave many bushels of grain to the clergy, and to the school- masters, and to the men who wrote the chronicles of' the village. And the for: who suspected the Financier to ho a rogue, were afraid to speak their mindw among the others, for fear he should drive them from the valley. But as the pnhappy villagers became poor»? and more destitute and miserable illuj,’ began to think upon their former pro:- perity, and to wonder why they should be starving in the midst of' plenty, a .rl why they should have to pay so Ilcha grain and fruit to the Financier. ‘ And a few of' the more intelliz'ln’. ones began to inquire, saying: “ \'.‘ can we not go up to the mountain ' selves, and cause the water to flow .‘ But this seemed a terrible and tin"; ous saying to the simple-minded p i 7 L. for they had never thought of it h: 1 . .
