A Wonderful Way of Earning Money
A painter once saw an old man in a kilt walking along the street. It occurred to him that he would like the man to sit for his picture. He sent his servant to settle the matter. The servant did his best to make the man accept his master’s offer. “What does your master want me to do?” asked the man. “My master wants you to sit while he paints you. You will have but little trouble and get a square pound for it. Just for nothing!” The old man kept silent as if he didn’t hear the servant speaking. “Can’t you make up your mind?” exclaimed the latter out of patience with the old man. “As to me I consider it to be a wonderful way of earning money.” “So do I!” said the old man. “But will your master expect me to go painted for a long time or will he let me get the paint off at once?”
