summary:
  Little boys, I advise you, never be afraid to tell the truth; never say, _Stay a minute_, and, _Stay a little longer_, but run directly, and tell of what you have done that is wrong. Little boys, who wish to be honest, beware of temptation; do not depend too much upon yourselves; and remember, that it is easier to resolve to do right at first, than at last.

  It was rather cunning in the prince to request such an easy post, for the princess could not possibly soil as many shoes as other princesses. They argued that, if water of external origin and application could be so efficacious, water from a deeper source might work a perfect cure; in short, that if the poor afflicted princess could by any means be made to cry, she might recover her lost gravity.
