Formerly in China, there was a Mandarin who had two servants, the one from the north of China, the other from the south. One day the Mandarin ordered the slow south countryman to carry out his little son to take the air. The servant let the child fall into a fishpond ; and went to inform his master, whom he found writing an official document. Fearing to disturb him, he stood by quietly for the space of two hours, till the writing was completed. " What do you want ? " said the Man- darin. " Sir,... said the servant, the boy has fallen into the pond, and I came to beg you to send some person to take him out. " " What ! you scoundrel, said the Mandarin, have you stood here so long without tell- ing?" "I durst not presume to disturb you, sir, " said the servant. The Mandarin ran to the pond ; but found the child had been dead for some time. He was then so vexed that he would have no more south country servants, because, they were slow and void of energy. On a certain day an unexpected affair required his immediate attention, and he was obliged to run a foot.
