The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let us play the man a
23 : we will hide his shoes and wait to see his
24 when he cannot find them.”
“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never amuse ourselves at the
25 of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure
26 the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch
27 the discovery affects him.”
The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by.
The poor man soon finished his work, and came
28 the field to the path where he had left his shoes. While

31 he bent down and found the coin. Astonishment and
32 were seen upon his face. He then looked around himself on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and went on to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was

The student stood there

37 than if you had played your
38 trick?” The youth replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the
39 of those words, which I never understood before: It is more blessed to
40 than to receive.”
