Subtraction And Addition
A CHIMNEY-SWEEPER'S boy went into a baker's shop for a twopenny loaf,
and conceiving it to be diminutive in size, remarked to the baker that
he did not believe it was weight. Never mind that, said the man of
dough, you will have the less to carry.--True, replied the lad,
and throwing three half-pence on the counter left the shop. The baker
called after him that he had not left money enough. Never mind that,
said young sooty, you will have the less to count.
