THREE CHEERS FOR THE NAVY

Jack, an old sailor who had spent many years in the Navy, was walking along a country road when he came to a farm-house. The farmer was standing at the door and Jack said, " I have been walking all day looking for work. Will you give me a job?"

"Have you ever done any farm-work?" said the farmer. "No", said Jack. "I have been a sailor all my life, but I will do any job you like to give me".

"All right", said the farmer. "I'll give you a chance. Do you see . that flock of sheep on the hillside?" "Yes", answered Jack.

"Well", said the farmer. "Get them all through that gate into the yard."

"Right", said Jack. "I'll do that".

About an hour later the farmer went to the yard. Jack was leaning on the gate wiping his forehead. "Did you get them all in?" said the farmer.

"Yes", said Jack. The farmer looked and saw that all the sheep were gathered in the yard and the gate was shut. And then the farmer saw a hare running round among the sheep. The sailor saw what he was looking at.
