What kind of people live here

A stranger halting at a village spoke to one of the inhabitants.

"What kind of people live here?" he asked.

"I have it in my mind to settle here."

"What kind of people did you live with before?" inquired the villager.

"Oh, in the town I came from the people are mean and narrow."

"Then I'm sorry' said the villager, 'but you'll find the same kind of people here."

The stranger drove on and sometime later another stranger came along and asked the same villager about the kind of people in the village.

"What kind of people did you live with before?" the villager asked.

"The finest in the world', the stranger said with a smile.

'Only business reasons forced me to leave."

"Then' said the villager, 'you'll find the same kind of people here."
