Apples and Apples and a Ballad of Return
A humorous verse by Walt Mason reflectively pities misers and applauds honest folk through a rhymed tale of lending and returning items. The narrator notes daily apples as is traditional wisdom and tells of friends returning a buck, a pup, a clock, and books. He contrasts the honest man who returns a nickel with the thief who steals books and laments lost cherished works.
