A man walking in the night slipped from a rock. Afraid that he would fall down thousands of feet, because he knew that place was a very deep valley, he took hold of a branch that was hanging over the rock. In the night all he couls see was a bottomless abyss. He shouted, his own shout reflected back——there was nobody to hear. You can imagine that man and his whole night of scare. Every moment there
was death, his hands were becoming cold, he was losing his grip...... and as the sun came out he looked down and he laughed. There was no abyss. Just six inches
down there was a rock. He could have rested the whole night, slept well——the rock was big enough——but the whole night was a nightmare.
Fear is only six inches deep. Now it is up to you whether you want to go on
cling to the branch and turn your life into a nightmare, or whether you would love to leave the branch and stand on your feet. There is nothing to fear.

A RICH Woman having returned from abroad disembarked at the foot of Knee-deep Street, and was about to walk to her hotel through the mud. "Madam," said a Policeman, "I cannot permit you to do that; you would soil your shoes and stockings." "Oh, that is of no importance, really," replied the Rich Woman, with a cheerful smile. "But, madam, it is needless; from the wharf to the hotel, as you observe, extends an unbroken line of prostrate newspaper men who crave the honour of having you walk upon them." "In that case," she said, seating herself in a doorway and unlocking her satchel, "I shall have to put on my rubber boots."
A WOLF who had a bone stuck in his throat hired a Crane, for a large sum, to put her head into his mouth and draw out the bone.
