A CHRISTIAN man had a rather quarrelsome neighbor whose cow often broke through the fence into his garden. One morning, having driven the cow off his property back into her owner’s yard, he said to him, “Friend, I have driven your cow home once more and if I find her in my garden again —”
“S’pose you do,” exclaimed his neighbor angrily. “What will you do?”
“Why,” said the other, “I’ll drive her home to you again, friend.” The cow never again troubled the Christian neighbor.
