a ñx az a stiok ov molassis kandy tiiat...

a ñx az a stiok ov molassis kandy tiiat haz half melted. Thare iz no good substitute for wisdum, but silence iz the best that haz been discovered vet. Thare iz lots "ov folks in this world who, rather than not to find any fault at all, wouldn't hesitate tew say tew au angleworm that his tail wuz altogether too long for the rest of his boddy. A man who iz good company for himself iz alwuz good company for others. Cunning iz very apt tew ontwit itself. The man who turned the boat over and got under it tew keep out ov the rain waz one ov this kind. I never knew but one inüdel in mi life, aiid he had no more courage than a haff'-drowned kitten jest pulled out ov a swill barrel, and wnz az afraid tew die az the devil would be if he waz allowed tew visit the earth, for a short season, to recruit himself. I hav seen men who had worn out their vices and supposed, of course, that they was lying on ther virteus. What a man iz the mosfc afrade ov he sez he don't beleave in; this may ackount for sum men's unbeleaf in hèll. The man who dies the richest iz the 3ne who leaves the most here, and takes the least with him.
