• The Watermelon and the Mule - A Countryman came to the town and saw a watermelon for the first time. "" What is that?' said he. "" It is a mule's egg,"" was the reply. The countryman bought the watermelon, and started for home. On the way the watermelon fell from the donkey's back and broke open. Just at that moment a hare crossed the road. ""There goes my mule,"" said the countryman. ""Oh, my dear wife,"" he said, later on, when he reached home, ""I bought a beautiful mule's egg in the town, but I was most unfortunate on the way, for the egg broke and the little mule came out and ran away.""
