The Aethiop
Aesop Fable: The Aethiop
The Purchaser of a black servant was persuaded that the
color of his skin arose from dirt contracted through the
neglect of his former masters.
On bringing him home he
resorted to every means of cleaning, and subjected the man
to incessant scrubbings.
The servant caught a severe cold,
but he never changed his color or complexion.
What’s bred in the bone will stick to the flesh.
