A youngster at school, more sedate than the rest
Had once his integrity put to the test


His companions had plotted an orchard to rob,
And asked him to 60 and assist in the job
He was shocked, sir, like you, and answered oh no.
What, rob our good neighbor, pray you don't go!
Besides, the mans poor--hs orchards his bread,
Then think Of his children--for they must be fed
You speak very fine and you look very grave;
But apples we want, and apples Wen have;


IT you will 60 with US, you shall have share,
If not, you shall have neither apple nor pear.
They spoke, and Tom pondered Isee they will go,
Poor mian-what pity to injure him so


Poor mani would save him his fruit ifI could,
But my staying behind viii do him no good
If the matter depended alone upon me,


His apples might hang till they drop'd from the tree
But since they will take them, think Pll go too;
He will lose none by me, though get few "
His scruples thus senced, Tom felt more at ease,
And went with his comrades the apples to seize,
He blamed and protested, but join'd IN the pian,-
He shared in the plunder, but pitied the man,
