The Horse and the Jackass

By Van Bibber

A horse and an ass came to the same stream to drink. "How crystal-clear is this water," said the horse. "To me, it appears very muddy," grumbled the ass. No wonder! he drank with his head down the stream, and the mud came from his own hoofs. All ye who search Holy Writ only to foster doubt, and who, in the very act of searching it, turn your backs on the fountain-head from which it flows, examine well that long-eared and stupid ass, and then, if you can, continue to do likewise.—VAN BIBBER, in Home Journal.
