REPENTANCE

Reading edition

ON a moonless night a man entered into his neighbour’s garden and stole the largest melon he could find and brought it home.

He opened it and found it still unripe.

Then behold a marvel!

The man’s conscience woke and smote him with remorse; and he repented having stolen the melon.
