How a philosopher asked his son how many friends he had? 

 A hundred, says the son. I never found but one real friend, says the 

 philosopher ; and he recommends his son to test his friends. The 

 test is this : he is to take each apart and inform him that he has 

 killed a man, and then observe the friend's behaviour. They fail 

 under the test. Then the father sends him to visit a friend of his 

 own ; to him the son pretends that his father has fallen into poverty, 

 in spite of which he is treated with all possible kindness, and in the 

 end the host sacrifices even his wife to friendship. The story ends 

 abruptly and appears to be incomplete. Ends —
