A miner worked very hard every day in the mines for a living. The overseer of the mine said to him one day:
"Thomas, I've got an easier post for you, where there
is not much hard work & where you will get better wages. Will you accept
it?"
Most men would have jumped at such an offer. But what did
this noble fellow do? He said to the overseer:
"Captain, there's our poor brother Tregony: he has a
sickly body & not able to do hard work as I can. I am afraid his work will
shorten his life & then what will his poor family do? Won't you please let
him have this easier post? I can go on working as I have done."
The overseer was wonderfully pleased with Thomas's generous
spirit.
