Short Cords of Wood

SOME white men might study ethics under an old Indian on the Kakima Reservation. He is a Christian. A lady had bought several cords of wood of him. When the wood was measured, he found that it lacked just a few pieces of full measure. The lady said, “O, that is all right!” A few days afterward, however, he came with enough wood to fully make it up. The lady said, “Why, I told you that was all right.” But the Indian replied, “Me want no short cords of wood to meet me in heaven.”—Selected.
