THE MARTENS.
" Welt, ! " said I, as I stopped in front of the
martens’ den, whose occupants were restlessly
running to and fro, as if endeavouring to find
some way of escape from their uncongenial
habitation, " I wonder if you have anything
interesting to tell me ? "
" Anything to tell you !" snapped the largest
marten angrily; " I wish you would tell me how
to get out of this horrible hole, there would be
some sense in that; but what good would it do
you if I told you my miserable story ? "
" Perhaps," I mildly suggested, " it would
ease your mind to narrate your sorrows to a
sympathetic listener, at any rate I have often
found some solace in doing so myself."
