Another Athenian desired a boy to buy him some cheese and eggs. Havingdone so, "Now, my lad, " said the stranger, "tell me which of thesecheese were made of the milk of white goats and which of black goats?"The little Hebrew answered: "Since thou art older than I, and moreexperienced, first do thou tell me which of these eggs came from whiteand which from black hens. " Once more did a Hebrew urchin prove his superiority in wit over anAthenian: "Here, boy, " said he, "here is some money; bring u...s some figsand grapes. " The lad went and bought the fruit, kept half of it forhimself, and gave the other half to the Athenian. "How!" cried the man, "is it the custom of this city for a messenger to take half of what heis sent to purchase?" "No, " replied the boy; "but it is our custom tospeak what we mean, and to do what we are desired. " "Well, then, I didnot desire thee to take half of the fruit. " "Why, what else could youmean, " rejoined the little casuist, "by saying, 'Bring _us_?' Does notthat word include the hearer as well as the speaker?" The stranger, notknowing how to answer such reasoning, smiled and went his way, leavingthe shrewd lad to eat his share of the fruit in peace.
