The Three Tradesmen
The Three TradesmenA GREAT CITY was besieged, and its inhabitants were called
together to consider the best means of protecting it from the
enemy.A Bricklayer earnestly recommended bricks as affording
the best material for an effective resistance.A Carpenter, with
equal enthusiasm, proposed timber as a preferable method of
defense.Upon which a Currier stood up and said, "Sirs, I differ
from you altogether:there is no material for resistance equal to
a covering of hides; and nothing so good as leather."
Every man for himself.
