A poor stone cutter chipped at a rock. His hammer went TACK and his chisel went TOCK.

Then a rich man walked past, in his rich man's clothes. I'm just a poor stone cutter, " the stone cutter said, " I'd rather be a rich man instead. "

And he became a rich man.

Then the emperor rode past with his servants dressed in blue and gold.

“ I'm just q rich man, " the stone cutter said. " I'd rather be the emperor instead. "
