A Miller, dying, divided all his property between his three children. This was a very simple matter. He had nothing to leave but his mill, his donkey, and his cat. So he made no will, and called in no lawyer. The lawyer would, probably, have taken a large slice out of these poor possessions. The eldest son took the mill, and the second the donkey. The third was obliged to content himself with the cat, at which he grumbled very much.
