    Daniel and Jack.
    One morning they were going away on the stage coach which was at 7.0AM. Daniel went at 6.30 to the turnpike and Jack laughed at him. Jack at last got ready and as he reached the turnpike he saw the coach climbing the hill in front of him.
    "A half an hour too soon is better than a half a minute too late."
