A Roguish Butcher told a Fool he would give him a farthing to leap into the kennel, which was pretty broad after the new-fallen rain; so the Fool hopt in, first with one foot, but the Butcher would have him leap in with both; then he hops in with the other, yet was very loath to leap in with both. The Butcher still urg∣ing him, at last he leaps in with both, and then would have his farthing: But the Butcher said he would give him none. I thought so at first, says he, and so goes his way.
