[Enter the SHEPHERD.]
SHEPHERD. Good-day to you, good Abbot!
ABBOT. Ah, Shepherd, I am glad to see you. How goes it in your village?
SHEPHERD. We do nothing there but laugh since your visit to us, sir. We laugh all day and half the night.
ABBOT. Now why do you do that?
SHEPHERD. Because, sir, I look so much like you. At least, they think so in our village.
ABBOT. Why, that is true, you do. Well, what can I do for you?
SHEPHERD. I have heard about the two questions, sir. I have come to help you.
ABBOT. How can you help me? Speak!
SHEPHERD. I will go to the king in your place. He will think that I am you.
