An old man and his wife in Flintshire were much annoyed by their neighbor’s cattle going over their fences into their wheat and grass, and thus causing great loss to the poor old people. David, the old man, got impatient at last, and one day, entering the house, he said to his wife: “Our neighbor’s cattle have been again in our wheat. I’ll make him pay the damage this time.” “Don’t talk about paying, David, ‘I will repay, saith the Lord.'” “No, indeed, He won’t,” said David; “He is too ready to forgive a great deal to do that.” –Dictionary Of Illustrations
