A poor Scholar in France being very hungry, came into a Shop where Petits Pates were sold, and aked what he should give the Man to let him eat his Bel∣ly full? He told him he should give him Twenty pence. The Scholar told him he would give Fifteen; and the Man took him at his word. So the Scholar sate down, and eat the first Oven full; which contained four dozen. The Man seeing that, asked if he would not drink a Glass of Wine? Oh no, not yet, replied he, I do not use to drink, till the third Oven full. So the poor fellow was glad to let him go with what he had eaten, without paying a farthing; for fear he should have undone him.
