Dauvit A owned a small tenement, with a well at the back in a town of Fife. Some of the neighI ours who had no well of their own used to give him a small sum for the use of his. One neighbour, however, who used Dauvit's well regularly, never n*inded about giving any thing for the privilege. Mr. A met him one day and remarked as a hint " Man Peter, you've forgotten your acknowledgement." " Ay, Dauvit, but arn't we promised our watter i' the Bible ? " " Ay, but ye wisna promised the pump."
