The Thrift of Strength

(单词翻译:单击)
A WEAK Man going down-hill met a Strong Man going up, and said:
"I take this direction because it requires less
exertion1, not from
choice. I pray you, sir, assist me to
regain2 the summit."
"Gladly," said the Strong Man, his face
illuminated3 with the glory
of his thought. "I have always considered my strength a sacred
gift in trust for my fellow-men. I will take you along with me.
Just get behind me and push."
