I never met such a happy man! He came boldly into the forest, whistling, and oh, he had the merriest, lightest gait.
“Good day,” I said, and I asked for something to eat. After he gave me the contents of his pockets, I gave him the contents of my own—that is, the means by which he would be able to travel the world, and never have to worry about money.
Such a happy man!
