Missing line ?
[edit]In the third paragraph, "However he did not wish to make me believe that the people of your city do impossible things.”" seems to jump - I wonder if there is a line missing ?
Another version of the story, which is longer, has "However he did not wish to appear eager to learn the particulars, lest he should alarm the old cobler.
"He therefore began to laugh: 'Ha! ha! ha! said he, 'I find, good Mr Cobler, that you perceive I am a stranger here, and you wish to make me believe that the people of your city do impossible things.'" -- Beardo (talk) 13:45, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
