  Jonathan Swift, the famous Irish writer (1667-1745), leading satirist of his age,

was not very generous. He seldom gave anything to the servants of those who sent him presents. But once he received a lesson from a boy who very often brought him hares,

partridges, and other game.

  One day the boy arrived with a heavy basket full of fish, fruit, and game. When         

Swift opened the door, the boy said gruffly, “Here, my master has sent you a basket     

full of things.” Swift, feeling displeased at the boy’s rude manners, said to him: “Come here, my boy, and I will teach you how to deliver a message a little more politely. Come,

imagine yourself Jonathan Swift, and I will be the boy.”   

  Then taking off his hat very politely and addressing himself to the boy, he said: “Sir,

my master sends you a little present and begs you will do him the honour to accept it.”

“Oh, very well, my boy,” replied the boy, “tell your master I am much obliged to

him, and there is half a crown for yourself.”

Swift laughed heartily, and gave the boy a crown for his wit.
