The Three Tradesmen

A GREAT CITY was besieged, and its inhabitants were called together

to consider the best means of protecting it from the enemy. A

Bricklayer earnestly recommended bricks as affording the best material

for an effective resistance. A Carpenter, with equal enthusiasm,

proposed timber as a preferable method of defense. Upon which a

Currier stood up and said, " Sirs, I differ from you altogether: there

is no material for resistance equal to a covering of hides; and nothing

so good as leather. "

Every man for himself.
