“The little stone Saint and the Goblin got on very well together, though they looked at most things from different points of view. The Saint was a philanthropist in an old fashioned way; he thought the world, as he saw it, was good, but might be improved. In particular he pitied the church mice, who were miserably poor. The Goblin, on the other hand, was of opinion that the world, as he knew it, was bad, but had better be let alone. It was the function of the church mice to be poor.” FunnyPovertyHumourMoralitySocial JusticeWitSatirePhilanthropyEdwardian Book:Reginald in Russia and Other Sketches Source: Reginald in Russia and Other Sketches
