Seth Smith was reckoned the laziest man in town.
Sotired had the authorities become of contributing to his supportthat they decided to consign him to a living tomb. Accordinglyhe was prepared for burial.
The hearse was an old ramshacklecountry wagon.
As the strange cortege moved along some old residentasked,“Who is it?”
“Why,Seth Smith, who is too lazy to get anything to liveon, so we are going to bury him alive.”
“I'll give him a bushel of corn,” said one.“And I will,”said another.
Slowly raising his head, Seth asked:“Is the corn shelled,neighbor?”
“No,you must do that yourself.” Gently replacing his head, he said:“ Drive on, boys,drive on.”
