Oh dear! land! I wonder, when'll the same old story end." "Has she told it to you, Aunt Hildy?" "Partly to me and partly to Mis' Goodwin."
The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
