Lesson 22-2 Byheart

One night, thegaoler decided to play a joke on his colleague to find out if, after so many performances,he had managed to learn the contents of the letter by heart.

The curtain wentup on the final act of the play and revealed the aristocrat sitting alonebehind bars in his dark cell. Just then, the gaoler appeared with the preciousletter in his hands. He entered the cell and presented the letter to thearistocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in full as usual.It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, anxious tosee if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at theblank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then, squinting his eyes, he said:"The light is dim. Read the letter to me”. And he promptly handed thesheet of paper to the gaoler. Finding that he could not remember a word of theletter either, the gaoler replied: “The light is indeed dim, sire, I must getmy glasses.” With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat'samusement, the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses andthe usual copy of the letter with he proceeded to read to the prisoner.
