ADVENTURES ON THE ROAD
THEN I saw in my dream that as Christian was going joyfully on his way he came to a pleasant valley. And there he saw, a little way from the road, three men who were lying fast asleep on the brink of a precipice. They had fetters upon their heels, and their names were Simple, Sloth, and Presumption.
Christian went toward them, and cried out to awaken them. "Ho, there, you sleepers ! Wake up, and come away from that dangerous place!"
But they only groaned and settled themselves for a deeper sleep.
"Wake up! wake up!" cried Christian again. "Wake up, and I will help you off with your fetters."
They opened their eyes and looked at him.
"I don't see any danger," said Simple.
