The Charcoal-Burner and the Fuller
A CHARCOAL-BURNER carried on his trade in his own house.

live with him, saying that they should be far better neighbors and
that their housekeeping expenses would be lessened. The Fuller

and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their
strength, and were not able to do it.
