Note 1 — VI. Vidâmundan Kodâmundan. Mr. Won’t-Give and Mr. Won’t-Leave.

In two adjoining villages there lived two famous men. The one was called Mr. Mighty-of-his-mouth1—one that could accomplish wonders with words alone. The other was called Mr. Mighty-of-his-hands2—one who could make no use of that glib instrument the tongue, but was able to bear burdens, cut wood, and perform other physical labour.
