mmxgn@0: a waggoner was once driving a heavy load along a very muddy way
mmxgn@0: at last he came to a part of the road where the wheels sank half-way into the mire and the more the horses pulled the deeper sank the wheels
mmxgn@0: so the waggoner threw down his whip and knelt down and prayed to hercules the strong
mmxgn@0: o hercules help me in this my hour of distress
mmxgn@0: quoth he
mmxgn@0: but hercules appeared to him and said
mmxgn@0: tut man do n't sprawl there
mmxgn@0: get up and put your shoulder to the wheel
