When I Was a Little Boy and the Axe to Grind
Dr Franklin recalls a cold morning encounter with a smiling man who asked to grind his axe on a boy's grindstone. The tale ends with a warning that politeness and flattery mask hidden motives, as those who flatter liberty may secretly tyrannize. The author notes how such phrases echo when he sees overpolite clerks, party loyalists, and office seekers who press others to serve their grindstone.
