THE WALLET OF KAI LUNG

BY

ERNEST BRAMAH



"Ho, illustrious passers-by!" says Kai Lung as he spreads out his
embroidered mat under the mulberry-tree. "It is indeed unlikely
that you could condescend to stop and listen to the foolish words
of such an insignificant and altogether deformed person as myself.
Nevertheless, if you will but retard your elegant footsteps for a
few moments, this exceedingly unprepossessing individual will
endeavour to entertain you." This is a collection of Kai Lung's
entertaining tales, told professionally in the market places as he
travelled about; told sometimes to occupy and divert the minds of
his enemies when they were intent on torturing him.
