Aesop's Fables
A
RICH MAN lived near a
Tanner, and not being able to bear the
unpleasant smell of the
tan-yard, he pressed his neighbor to go away. The Tanner put off his
departure from time to time, saying that he would leave soon. But as he still continued to stay, as time went on, the rich man became
accustomed to the smell, and feeling no manner of
inconvenience, made no further
complaints.
