The Tale of Ivan (6)

The Tale of Ivan (6)

When Ivan got home to his wife she ran to greet him.

" You come in the nick of time, " she said.
" I have just found a fine purse of gold. It has no name on it, but it must belong to the lord of the manor. "

Ivan remembered the third piece of advice and said, " Honesty is the best policy. "

They went to the lord's castle and left the purse with the servant at the gatehouse.

One day when the lord passed Ivan's house, his wife mentioned the purse to him.

" I know of no purse returned to me, " said the lord, in puzzlement.
" Surely my servant must have kept it for himself. " 

So he sought out the servant.
When the servant saw that he was found out he gave up the purse.

The lord frowned at his wicked servant.
" I have no use for dishonesty. Be gone, " he ordered.
