GRAVE DIGGER

  Once, as I was burying one of my dead
selves, the grave-digger came by and said
to me, "Of all those who come here to bury,
you alone I like."

  Said I, "You please me exceedingly, but
why do you like me?"

  "Because," said he, "They come weep-
ing and go weeping--you only come laugh-
ing and go laughing."
