What is the good Mansname? You may read it on his Ox. By theuse of the Plow in place of the Pick, you see,he will aid Toil to do much more, and so getmuch more of a Crop, and this he will, of course,Share with his good Friend, as is but Just, sinceby the Help he gave so much more Work w^asdone in the same Time. Is it Right that heshould have this Share ? I think it is, my know some try to make out that he is the Foeof Toil, but it is not like a Foe to Help one,is it? He and Toil are Friends. 27. LESSON XXIV. ToU Now Worm And Quite Eats Friend Mad Fruit Who are these two Men, and why do theyDance and Tear as if they were Mad? Theyare Toil and his Friend. They have done theWork, and now they are mad at the Wormwhich eats the Fruit. You see tlie Fruit isWealth—that is, what was got by the JointWork of the Two on the Laud. The Fruit isto be cut in two Parts, one for Toil, whicli wecall his Wage, and one for his Friend, whichwe call In-ter-est. Is it Strange that they areMad at the Wonn, which means to Eat up mostof the Fruit? Did the Worm help them toget this Fruit of Work? No; but the AVormowns the Land out of Avhich they have to getall the Wealth that can be got, and so it Claimsits share in the form of Rent. But the Wormdoes no AVork. Its Plan is to let them Work,and then take Toll. 28
