there was once on a time a poor peasant called crabb, who drove with two oxen a load of wood to the town, and sold it to a doctor for two thalers. when the money was being counted out to him, it so happened that the doctor was sitting at table, and when the peasant saw how daintily he ate and drank, his heart desired what he saw, and he would willingly have been a doctor too. so he remained standing a while, and at length inquired if he too could not be a doctor. "oh, yes," said the doctor, "that is soon managed." "what must i do?" asked the peasant.
