The Parable of the ,„„„. Three Asses AND HOW IT CAME TO PASS THAT THEY WROTE THESE CHRONICLES TT came to pass in the second term of the first year of the rule of Denny, that the people found in their midst a grievous burden, which must be borne by some of their number. Therefore they gathered themselves together in an inner court of the temple to take counsel, and there was much murmuring of the Freshmen, but the prophets of the law spat tobacco juice vehemently upon the floor. Then the leaders of the people spoke unto certain of their number who were Scribes of much repute, saying : Take ye up this burden for the sake of the love which is in you for the temple and its people. And the Freshmen answered in the vulgar tongue of their kind, calling to each one, Yea, of a truth it is up to thee ! But the Scribes answered not the call of their people, but walked far into the back corner of the temple and sat down. Then did the People wag their heads sorro wfully, saying among themselves : Surely there is nothing doing ! Now there were among the people three Asses who had been ordained to labor with much sweat and midnight oil in order that they might come into their own. And the People seeing how meekly they labored, said among themselves, Let us make them bear this burden also. Then one of the Asses arose and began to make excuses, saying, Nay, the stunts which those evil spirits, the faculty, have set for us are already more than we can do. But the People laughed mockingly, saying, They only seek time that they may worship their calico. So they heeded not these words but put the burden upon their weary backs. And the Freshmen stamped loudly, pondering in their hearts of the time when they should also be Asses. But the Asses painfully went their way, weighted down with honor and parallel tickets, and the calico knew them no more forever, but the Calyx became unto them as a bed-bug which sticketh closer than a brother. Then were their billiard cues changed into fountain-pens and their distinguished marks into deficients. WORAL. If the Asses have stumbled under their burden, let not the people revile them. 7
