141 " No, " said lie gravely. " You might as well ask the squirrels, why they do not educate their young, or ask the birds, why they do not alter the forms of their nests and adopt new customs ; tell the goats to leave off gamboling. The children of the tiller of the soil are like them : they enjoy the sun ;. They hunger and thirst ; they sleep and play ; by the time that they are able to work they are condemned to labour, and thus the whole of their life passes away. So did that of their fathe...rs for countless generations, and so will that of their children ; and if you are wise, Sahib, you will let them alone. Each year they have their marriage-feasts, and their fes- tivals, and they go up to that high hill to rub their head against the Idol. They never miss their daily meal and nightly sleep. Each man has his wife and his children. If their lot is hard, at least it is certain ; let them alone.
"Jan Larens, and you, have already done many things, which will give trouble hereafter. I was present at Hoshiarpiir, when you called out to the Landholders, that there were three things, which they must never do in future, and, if they did, that you would punish them : that they must not burn their widows ; that they must not kill their infant daughters; that they must not bury alive their lepers.
