Now, you tell us the truth. You need not be afraid. If 9468

you tell us the truth, we will do everything we can to

protect you.

Now, you understand that you must tell the truth. We

want at only to protect you, but to protect the whole

of the village.

To make livin; cheaper for you.

So if y. tall the truth, and dont have to pay any more

money to the Inspectors, it is a good thing for the

village, and you are a publio benefactor, and have done

a lot of good for the village.

Did not Inspector Ruason, and his Interpreter, give

the villagers a good deal of trouble ?

All about the pigs. He breaks up the pens, and burns up

the grass.

So that everybody is afraid of him ?
