Qnce upon a time a certain
farmer carried a basket of eggs to
market, and before leaving home
be intentionally slipped a few bad
ones in the basket. As the mer
chant began counting them from
the basket he accidently broke
one in the basket and it happened
to be one of the bad ones. The
merchant expressed his regrets
and pushed the basket ot eggs
back to the farmer, saying as he
did so, “1 am very sorry, but I
can’t use your eggs now, the bad
one has ruined the sale of all your
good ones.” Hear me people;
when we start out to intentionally
defraud and cheat our fellow men
we had better be careful, or we
will burst the egg and let the cat
out of the bag. And let us always
I'emember that one bad deed in
tentionally done, will taint and de
stroy all our good ones.
