The Wisest Man of a Small Village is Not Equal in Wisdom to a Boy of the City Streets
gpt
Where go ye, old men?
human
Wherefore dost thou, who art but a child, speak thus to us who are old and the judges of the villages from whence we come?
gpt
There is no cause for anger. How was I to know ye were wise men? To me, ye seem but as other men from a country place,--the wisest of whom are but fools.
human
We will not enter into the city, but will go to another province and sell this insolent boy, because he neither reverences age nor wisdom.
gpt
If I go, ye will run and leave me. I will not go.
human
Should I go, ye will leave me. I will not go, though, if ye let me tie ye to the posts of the _sala_, then will I go.
gpt
Do thou even so. We are weary carrying thee and cannot go for the fire.
human
Dost thou wish to purchase three slaves? Come with me.
gpt

To Aid Beast is Merit; To Aid Man is but Vanity
gpt
If thou wilt aid me to escape from this snare, always will I remember thy grace and merit. The hunter drew him out of the pit, and the man said,
human
I am goldsmith to the head chow, and dwell by the city's gate. Shouldst thou ever want any benefit, come to me, and gladly will I aid thee.
gpt
If thy heart prompts thee to set me free, thy aid will ever be remembered by me. He helped the tiger from the snare, and it said,
human
If ever thou needest aid, call and I will come to thee.
gpt
If thou wilt aid me, I can aid thee also in the time soon to come, and he assisted the snake.
human
When the time comes that thou needest me, think of me, and I will come to thee with haste,
gpt
You are the man who has killed the chow's child.
