The Old Woman and the Wine-Jar

AN OLD WOMAN found an empty jar which had lately been full of
prime old wine and which still retained the fragrant¹ smell of its
former contents.  She greedily placed it several times to her
nose, and drawing it backwards² and forwards said, "O most
delicious! How nice must the Wine itself have been, when it
leaves behind in the very vessel³ which contained it so sweet a
perfume!" 


The memory of a good deed lives.
