Humerous Story
Here is a story that we read lastnight, I thought it was very funny.
It is called " The millionaire and the Scrublady"
There is a certin Millionaire, who hatth is offices on the second floor of the First National Bank Building, And when he goeth up to his offices he rideth in the Elevator but when he goeth down he walketh,
And he is a Haughty Man, who once was poor , and hath rise in the World. He is a self-made man who worshipeth his maker.
And he payeth his rent regulalry on the firts day of the month, and he considereth not that there arenHuman Beings who run the Elevators , and who clean the wondows,
hanging at a great height above the Sidewalk, and who shovel Coal into the furnaces under the boilers. Neither doth he at Christmas time remeber any of them with a Tip or a Turkey.
And there is in this Building a Poor Woman who Scrubbeth the Stairs and the Halls , And he hath walked past her often but hath never seen her until Recenlty.For his head was high in the air, and he was thinking more Millions.
Now it came to pass on a day that he left his officeand started donw stairs.
And the ScrubLady was half way donw: for she had begun at the top , and was giving the stars their first onceover, And upon the topmost stair, in a awet and soapy spot, there was a largecake of Yellow Soap, and the Millionaire stepped upon it.
Now the foot which he set upon the Soap flew eastward toward the Sunrise , and the other foot starded on a expidition of its own toward the going donw of the Sun, And the Millionaire sat down upon the Topmost step, but he did not remian there,As it had been his Intention to Descend ,so he Descended , but not in the manner of his orignal design, And as he Descended he struck each step with a sound as if it had been a drum
And the ScrubLady stood aside courteously, and let him go .
And at the bottom he arose, and considered whether he should rush into the office of the building and deman that the ScrubLady be fired: but he considered that if he should tell the reasonthere would be grear Mith among the occupants of the Buiding so he held his peace.
But since that day he taketh notice of the ScrubLady and passeth her with Circimspection,
For there in no one so high or mighty that can afford to ingore any of his fellow human beings. For a very Humble ScrubLady and a very common bar of yellow soapcan take the mind of a great man off his business troubles and with surprising rapidity,
Wherefore ,Consider these things , and count not thyself too high above the humblest children of God. Lest haply thou come down from they place of pride and walk off with bruises aching a little more by reason of thy suspicion that the ScrubLady is Smiling into her suds,
and facing the day's work the more cheerfully by reason of the fun thou hast afforded her,
for these are solemn days, and he that bringeth a smile to the face of a ScrubLady hath not lived in vain,
And here is a verse that I will add. Pride goeth before a fall!\
