Aesop's Fables - The Charcoal-Burner and the Fuller

The Charcoal-Burner and the Fuller

A CHARCOAL-BURNER carried on his trade
in his own house. One day he met a friend, a
Fuller, and entreated him to come and live
with him, saying that they should be far better
neighbors and that their housekeeping
expenses would be lessened. The Fuller
replied, "The arrangement is impossible as
far as I am concerned, for whatever I should
whiten, you would immediately blacken
again with your charcoal." Like will draw
like.
