Robert Burns, the great Scottish poet, loved the common people and wrote about them.

One day when Burns was walking near the docks, he heard a cry for help.

He ran towards the water.

Just then a sailor jumped off a boat that stood near the dock, and began to swim towards the man who was calling for help.

The man who was saved was a rich merchant.

When he was taken to the shore, he thanked the brave sailor an gave him a shilling.

By this time a lot of people gather round them.

They called the sailor a hero and protested loudly when the rich man gave him only a shilling.

But Burns stopped them and said : “ Let him alone.

The gentleman , of course, knows better what his life is worth.”
