GOOD FOR EVIL

 


GOOD FOR EVIL - A True Story

A YOUNG man belonging to the city of Paris, desirous of getting rid of his dog, took it with him to the river Seine. He hired a boat, and rowing into the stream, threw the animal in. The poor creature attempted to climb up the side of the boat, but his master who wished to drown him. constantly pushed him back with the oar. In this he fell himself into the water and would certainly have been drowned, had not the dog, as soon as he saw his master struggling in the stream, suffered the boat to float away, and held him above the water, till assistance arrived and his life was saved.
