The
sentry, when he is relieved from his post, knows at least who will succeed him,
and may whisper a few words to him, but the lamp did not know his successor, or
he could have given him a few hints respecting rain, or mist, and could have
informed him how far the moon's rays would rest on the pavement, and from which
side the wind generally blew, and so on. On the bridge over the canal stood
three persons, who wished to recommend themselves to the lamp, for they thought
he could give the office to whomsoever he chose.
The first was a
herring's head, which could emit light in the darkness. He remarked that it
would be a great saving of oil if they placed him on the lamp-post. Number two
was a piece of rotten wood, which also shines in the dark. He considered himself
descended from an old stem, once the pride of the forest. The third was a
glow-worm, and how he found his way there the lamp could not imagine, yet there
he was, and could really give light as well as the others. But the rotten wood
and the herring's head declared most solemnly, by all they held sacred, that the
glow-worm only gave light at certain times, and must not be allowed to compete
with themselves.

them that not one of them could give sufficient light to fill the position of a
street lamp; but they would believe nothing he said. And when they discovered
that he had not the power of naming his successor, they said they were very glad
to hear it, for the lamp was too old and worn-out to make a proper choice.
