Author Joseph Jacobs is a bit like the Brothers Grimm. He collected and retold stories that would likely have been lost without his historical pen.
This clever short story follows a very lazy man who had the gift of turning most everything to his advantage. Most, that is until someone borrows his gift of deceit and turns the proverbial tables.
