One day a rich man was invited to dinner at the home of one of his friends. He did not know what to
36 the wine, meat and chicken he had just bought. Certainly he could not
37 them to the servant. Then he had
38 idea. He called up the servant and
39 to him.
"I'll be away for the whole evening, and I'll leave you to look after the house. In the cupboard there are two bottles filled with
40 . Be careful about it. You'll be killed if you take even a
41 of it. There is also some meat and chicken in the cupboard. Take care of them".
42 these words the rich man left the home.
43 the master turned his back, the servant opened the cupboard and began to enjoy all the nice things in it. He
44 the two bottles and ate up the meat, the chicken and
45 he found in the cupboard. He was
46 and soon fell
47 .
At mid-night the rich man returned home. He looked into the cupboard and to his great
48 , all the wine and food were
49 . He was mad with
50 and called the servant up.
"Oh, Master," the servant began to say
51 the rich man could open his mouth; "while you were away, the neighbor's black cat stole into our kitchen and ate up every things in the cupboard. I know you would be angry with me. I was so
52 that I drank the two bottles of poison to kill
53 “there were tears in the servant's eyes.”Oh, Master," he continued, "Please don't get angry with a
54 _ man. I'll soon be dead.
The rich man, of course, did not
