Paying In Kind


A CERTAIN Quaker slept at a hotel in a certain town. He was supplied

with two wax candles. He retired early, and, as he had burned but a

small part of the candles, he took them with him into his bedroom. In

the morning, finding he was charged 2s. in his bill for wax candles,

instead of fees to the waiter and chambermaid, he gave to each a wax

candle.
