A Creaking Tail
|
AN American Statesman who had twisted the tail of the British Lion until his arms ached was at last rewarded by a sharp, rasping sound.
'I knew your fortitude would give out after a while,' said the American Statesman, delighted; 'your agony attests my political power.'
'Agony I know not!' said the British Lion, yawning; 'the swivel in my tail needs a few drops of oil, that is all.'
