The Seagull and the Kite

  A CERTAIN MAN made a wooden image of Mercury and offered it for

  sale. When no one appeared willing to buy it, in order to

  attract purchasers, he cried out that he had the statue to sell

  of a benefactor1 who bestowed2 wealth and helped to heap up riches.

  One of the bystanders said to him, "My good fellow, why do you

  sell him, being such a one as you describe, when you may yourself

  enjoy the good things he has to give?' "Why," he replied, "I am

  in need of immediate3 help, and he is wont4 to give his good gifts

  very slowly."
